At Kailos, we believe that information is power. Giving people the knowledge to understand their health risks through genetic testing is at the heart of everything we do. We also strongly believe in the power of community, and are proud to continue supporting the Information is Power campaign that offers free or reduced cost genetic cancer risk testing for people in our community of Northern Alabama. The Russel Hill Foundation has given funding to help continue the Information is Power initiative for 2020.

Kailos Genetics, in partnership with HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, is expanding the Information is Power program to offer free genetic cancer risk testing for all women and men that are between the ages of 28 - 30 (born 11/9/1989 - 11/6/1992) in the counties of Madison, Jackson, Limestone, Marshall and Morgan , regardless of family history. Additionally, residents of these counties that are outside this age range receive discounted pricing of $129.

You also have the opportunity to GIFT a test to someone you know or give one to someone without the means to order their own test. (Go to hudsonalpha.org/gift for more information). Your genes never change, so the earlier you can take the test and understand your own DNA, the more impact and control you can have over your own health.

About the test The Kailos hereditary cancer screening test can tell you if you carry the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations that are strong risk signs for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. It also looks for changes in 31 additional genes, including APC, ATM, BARD1, BMPR1A, BRIP1, CDH1, CDKN2A, CHEK2, EPCAM, FH, FLCN, MLH1, MRE11A, MSH2, MSH6, MUTYH, NBN, NF1, PALB2, PMS2, PTEN, RAD50, RAD51C, RAD51D, RINT1, SDHB, SMAD4, STK11, TP53, VHL, and XRCC2, to provide information about risks related to breast, ovarian, colon and endometrial (uterine) cancers.
