Your genetic health experts

Genolife is a private Canadian genetics clinic that allows you to take charge of your health through genetic testing tailored to your situation.

Personalized genetic counselling

Our team of genetic specialists is here to help you identify what genetic factors can affect your health and that of your family. You can count on professional and compassionate support for informed decision-making and the medical support that comes with it.

Genetic counselling at your fingertips

Anchored deep within us, genetics is at the heart of our lives. The hereditary factors that we are born with may sooner or later affect our health. Thanks to recent medical innovations, it is now possible to take action to improve the outcomes of certain hereditary diseases through early screening and medical management.

At Genolife, we provide genetic counselling and the option of genetic testing to screen for various hereditary diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular, recessive or rare diseases. Through our comprehensive process of genetic counselling and testing, we will work with you and your physician to identify your risks in order to improve your management and your overall health.

Our rates*

Before undertaking genetic testing, our team will schedule with you a remote genetic counselling session to assess your risks and discuss with you which genetic test would be most appropriate according to your profile.

*A $20 fee is automatically applied when opening and processing your file.

Genetic counselling

During this first step, our genetic counsellor will meet with you to discuss your medical and family history with you (obtained by an online questionnaire before your appointment). The purpose of this meeting by phone or videoconference is to identify your medical and family history that could affect your health and that of other family members, to explain your testing options, and to help you make an informed decision about testing.

Genetic testing

Genetic testing is done in accordance with the recommendations and decisions made during the genetic counselling session. You will receive a saliva collection kit at home with all the necessary instructions on how to take the sample. Simply send your saliva sample to the lab with the enclosed shipping information and wait for the results. A second genetic counselling session to disclose and discuss the results is included.
