Stories
Karen Smerling
Making an informed choice before cancer developed
Karen learned about JScreen’s Atlanta screening study and discovered that she carried a BRCA2 variant. With that information, she chose a preventive double mastectomy, acting on an inherited risk she had not previously known to investigate.

Getting carrier screening without a blood draw
A customer who tends to faint during blood draws chose JScreen for genetic carrier screening. They found the saliva collection easy and the process quick and affordable, making it a practical way to complete testing without another needle-based appointment.

Does one carrier test cover both partners?
The reproductive carrier screen is for one person. A partner needs a separate purchase, and counseling can help interpret the combined implications.
