Invitae Genetic Health Screen

Invitae has launched its Genetic Health Screen tests, an expansion of its offerings as part of the company's ongoing proactive genetic testing pilot program. The expansion includes additional genes linked to cancer, cardiovascular conditions and other genetic disorders and provides information on 139 medically actionable genes. The company also offers sub-panels focused only on cardiovascular conditions or cancer. The tests are intended for patients who do not meet diagnostic criteria for genetic testing, but who wish to use genetic information to help guide their health decisions, the company said. They can only be ordered by a physician.
