Empower your practice with proactive genetic testing

Proactive genetic testing offers healthy adults without a strong personal or family history of disease an opportunity to learn about how their genes could potentially impact their health.
Invitae offers three testing options that analyze up to 139 genes that are well-established indicators of a significantly increased risk of developing hereditary cancers, cardiovascular conditions, and other medically important disorders.
If your patient receives a positive test result, their first-degree family members may get tested at no additional charge.
Our diagnostic-grade tests are performed in a CLIA- and CAP-certified laboratory and reviewed by our team of Ph.D. scientists, lab directors, and board-certified genetic counselors.

How it works

Due to the potential health implications of this test, Invitae proactive tests must be ordered by a healthcare provider on behalf of their patients.

Complete and return the test requisition and consent form. Make sure to include an email address for you or your practice, so we can create your online clinician portal account. You can use this account to track the progress of your patient's sample and receive results.

Request a free blood or saliva collection kit to collect your patient's specimen.

You will receive an email notification once we receive the specimen and another when the results are ready, typically 10 to 21 days after the sample is received.

If you or your patient have questions about the results, Invitae offers clinical support services at no additional charge.

Know the potential results

Positive	If your patient receives a positive (pathogenic or likely pathogenic) test result, this means that the test found a clinically significant genetic change that increases their risk of developing a specific medical condition. The Invitae proactive tests do not report variants of uncertain significance (VUS), but may report carrier status.
Negative	If your patient receives a negative test result, this means that they do not carry genetic changes in the genes evaluated that are currently known to be associated with serious health conditions.
