Predictive test for a known family mutation (self-pay)

📍 Where to go (4 facilities nationwide)

Relatives of a person in whom a specific risk mutation has been confirmed by genetic testing (e.g. BRCA1, BRCA2, Lynch syndrome).

How to proceed

Clinical geneticist (the standard path, often covered by public health insurance) or a commercial laboratory (self-pay). 1. Find out whether a specific mutation has been documented in your family (a geneticist's report for the relative). 2. Consultation with a clinical geneticist — they will assess suitability and can indicate the test under public health insurance. 3. If you prefer self-pay: book at a genetic laboratory with information about the specific mutation. 4. Blood draw. 5. Result in 1–3 months. 6. Consultation of the result with a geneticist.

Eligibility

Everyone

Interval

One-time examination (In case of a positive finding, a lifelong follow-up program is established based on the geneticist's recommendations.)

Price3500–5000 Kč

What the test detects

A targeted test for one specific mutation that has already been confirmed in a relative (the so-called index patient). It determines whether you also carry it.

Where it's available

GHC Genetics (Prague 8), clinical genetics offices at university hospitals, GENNET, AGEL Laboratories.

Limits and caveats

The test looks only for one specific, already known mutation — it cannot detect other genetic risks. It requires that the mutation has been previously identified and documented in a relative. The result is either positive (you carry the mutation) or negative (you do not carry this specific mutation, but other risks cannot be ruled out).

What to bring

The report documenting the specific mutation found in a relative (genetic report of the index patient). Your health insurance card.

Covered program

Predictive testing is meaningful only when a specific genetic mutation is known in the family. If you are not aware of any specific mutation, the first step is a consultation with a clinical geneticist, who will assess the family history and possibly indicate a comprehensive examination. A test covered by the health insurer via a clinical genetics office is the preferred path.
