What does the Skin Cancer Risk Test analyze?

The test calculates your personal risk for melanoma based on a polygenic risk score (PRS) that considers 28 common genetic variants. Unlike rare single gene mutations, polygenic risk is based on the combination of many genetic variants – so your risk can be elevated even without a family history.

Additional factors like age, ancestry, and gender are included in your assessment. The result provides you with a personalized prevention plan featuring clinical recommendations.

Result: Genetic counseling must be provided orally. Alternatively, it may be provided in writing if you expressly consent. Your consent or refusal will be documented.

What does the result mean for you?

• Your personal risk score compared to the general population
• Estimate of your likelihood of developing melanoma in the next 10 years.
• Individual medical recommendations for prevention and early detection
• A medical report for you and your treating physician

Important notes

• This test is not a diagnostic procedure.
• A high risk does not automatically mean illness – a low risk does not rule it out
• Rare high-risk mutations (e.g., BRCA1, BRCA2) are not analyzed
• Based on data from the UK Biobank – CE-certified as an IVD in the EU and the United Kingdom
• Scientific models can evolve with new research findings
