Your Genes Don’t Decide Your Future. They Reveal Your Risk.
Physician-led genetic risk screening for the men who want to prevent, not react.
The MVC Strategic Genomics Screen identifies clinically meaningful inherited risk across cardiovascular, cancer, metabolic, and brain-health areas — then turns it into a personalized prevention plan.
Informational reference only; not medical advice. Genetic screening is ordered and interpreted through a clinical pathway with genetic counselling.
GENOMIC SCREEN · POPULAR
MVC Strategic Genomics Screen
160+ clinically relevant genes plus APOE testing, integrated by an MVC physician into your personalized prevention plan.
Genomics translated into action, not just a report.
A genetic report alone is not a health plan. We interpret your results alongside your family history, bloodwork, and risk profile — then build a plan around what actually matters.
What The Strategic Genomics Screen Can Reveal
A 160+ gene clinical panel plus APOE testing, across four major areas of inherited risk.
01
Hereditary Cancer Risk
Inherited variants (BRCA1/2, Lynch and others) that raise lifetime cancer risk.
02
Cardiovascular Risk
Inherited lipid, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia and aortic risk.
03
Familial High Cholesterol
High LDL from birth (LDLR, APOB, PCSK9) that raises early heart-disease risk.
04
Metabolic & Systemic Risk
Hemochromatosis, alpha-1 antitrypsin, and other inherited metabolic conditions.
05
Medication & Family Risk
Actionable findings that inform medication safety and family risk planning.
06
Brain-Health Risk (APOE)
APOE ε4 status — a risk modifier for late-onset Alzheimer’s, not a diagnosis.

160+ Gene Germline Panel
A clinical genetic risk panel covering cardiovascular, cancer, and metabolic conditions.
APOE Brain & Heart Testing
APOE E2/E3/E4 status, interpreted as a risk modifier for brain and cardiovascular health.
Genetic Counselling
Counselling is provided through the Dynacare / Invitae testing pathway.
Physician-Led Integration
An MVC Genomics Integration Consult and a personalized Genomics Action Plan.
Genetic testing is ordered through a clinical pathway. A positive result does not mean disease will develop; a negative result does not rule out risk.

BY THE NUMBERS
The Case For Genetic Risk Screening
Most high-risk inherited variants go undetected under usual care. Screening finds clinically meaningful risk in time to act on it.
Selected Inherited Risks The Screen Can Reveal
Lifetime risk estimates by gene / condition (%). Population estimates; vary by variant, sex and family history.
Important Context Before You Screen
>90%
of people carrying a high-risk Tier 1 variant (hereditary cancer, Lynch, or FH) go undetected under usual medical care.

Key Things To Understand
- A positive result does not mean disease will develop
- A negative result does not rule out risk
- APOE ε4 indicates susceptibility, not a dementia diagnosis
- Best interpreted with family history & bloodwork
- Ordered through a clinical genetic pathway
- Includes genetic counselling

PATIENT EXPERIENCES
What Our Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Men with a personal or family history of cancer, heart disease, or inherited conditions, or anyone who wants a clearer picture of their long-term health risks, may benefit. A physician reviews your history to determine which screen is most useful for you.
Most predictive or elective genetic screening is not covered by MSP and is quoted in advance. Certain diagnostic genetic tests may be covered when clinically indicated; your physician will advise what applies to your situation.
You meet your physician, provide a saliva or blood sample, and the lab analyzes the relevant genes. You then review your results together and build a personalized prevention and monitoring plan based on what the screen finds.
Screening identifies inherited variants that can raise your risk for certain conditions, such as hereditary cancers, high cholesterol, or medication sensitivities. Results guide earlier screening, prevention, and treatment decisions, not a diagnosis on their own.
Physician-guided genetic screening, comprehensive intake and results consultation, interpretation of your report, plus a personalized prevention plan, care coordination, and scheduling support.
