DNA Screen – Secure DNA testing for your future health

Genetic testing can save lives by finding DNA variants that increase risk of certain cancers or heart disease. One in 75 Australians have one of these DNA variants. But most don’t know it, so they can’t take preventive action

DNA Screen’s genetic test is free and open to 10,000 Australians aged 18-40. A simple saliva sample, collected at home, is all the test requires.

The world-first DNA Screen pilot study is federally funded and led by Monash University. If you would like to take part, simply click below to register your interest.
