See why we’re the #1 family test.
As the father of two girls (and son of a mom who had breast cancer), I'm grateful to know about my disease risks so we can plan better as a family.
Alexis O
The test also picked up my rare genetic condition—this is an incredible test! It’s actually my fourth DNA test, and the only one that identified it.
Irina Swan
I discovered I was at a very high risk for a condition I’d never even heard of—Hereditary Hemochromatosis—which would ultimately change my life.
Ethan C
Just found that my genetic risk of diabetes is higher than 99.9% who share the same ancestry as me. This stuff is priceless.
Yasir A
Nucleus highlights factors like age, BMI, or cholesterol that are likely to tilt the scales in certain cases. I now plan to have more regular eye exams because my risk for macular degeneration is more strongly correlated with age than I knew.
Michael Hendricks
Got my results yesterday. Pretty amazing insights, especially one in particular that I wasn’t even aware could be related to genomics and had a deep impact on my life: alcohol.

After doing carrier screening, we discovered we're both carriers for cystic fibrosis. So there was a one in four chance our baby would have CF. We chose to do IVF and now our little one is happy, healthy, and ready to take his first step."

How long does it take to get results?
add
Once your order the test, your kit will arrive in the mail in 3-5 business days. As soon as you collect your sample, you can mail it to the lab using a pre-paid USPS envelope (included with your purchase). Once at the lab, your sample will be sequenced, processed, and analyzed. This process typically takes 4-6 weeks. You'll get an email as soon as your results are ready.

What is carrier screening?
add
Carrier screening is a type of genetic testing that checks whether you carry inherited gene variants that could increase the risk of passing a genetic condition to your children. Many people are carriers of genetic conditions without knowing it, because they typically don’t have any symptoms themselves.
Nucleus carrier screening test helps you understand your genetic makeup and assess the likelihood of passing on certain inherited conditions to your kids. We test for 900+ conditions using a simple cheek swab. If both you and your partner are carriers for the same condition, there may be a higher chance that your child could be affected.
Knowing which conditions you're a carrier for can be helpful if you're planning on having kids in the future and want clear, science-backed insights to support informed reproductive decisions.
