What Does Your Genes Say About You
About YourGenes
At Your Genes, we believe knowledge is power—especially when it comes to your health.
Founded in 2024, we are a trailblazing genetic testing company with a singular mission:
To empower individuals across Africa to take control of their health through the unique insightsÂ
found in their DNA.
We are proud to be the first  company to offer genetic testing specifically tailored to
the diverse ancestries. Our tests are designed to deliver health insights that are truly relevant
to each population group. There are numerous genetic differences across populations,
however most genetic tests compare results to only one population group. At Your Genes we
compare your genetic results to your ancestral population group, which ensures your results
are the most accurate. We have spent decades building a database to compare against most
major population groups.
What makes us different? Your Genes offers comprehensive genetic health and
wellness packages. These includes testing for the Diet and Nutrition, Fitness and Health, Skin
Health, Allergies, Gut Microbiome, Reproductive Health, and Respiratory conditions—all
within one integrated platform.
We go beyond testing. We’re building a movement for health education, early prevention,
and informed lifestyle choices. By combining the latest in genetic science with culturally
relevant insights, we aim to make personalized health a reality for millions.
Our impact is strengthened by a unique partnership with the University of KwaZulu-Natal,
and collaboration with a team of Harvard-trained genetic scientists who bring over two
decades of expertise to our work.
At Your Genes, we’re not just reading your DNA
we’re rewriting the future of health in Africa.
What is Genetic Testing?
Genetic testing is a medical process that examines your DNA—the unique code that makes you who you are. By studying your DNA, YourGenes can identify specific variations that may increase your risk of health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and other common illnesses.
Predictive Diagnostics
At YourGenes, we practice Predictive Diagnostic Testing. This approach allows us to identify potential risks early, so you can take proactive steps to protect your health. Instead of waiting to react to illness, we help you become reactive in your lifestyle choices—making adjustments that can prevent the onset of disease before it begins.
At YourGenes, we believe that information is power. Too often, people lack access to personalized health insights that could prevent serious illness.
We are committed to changing the status quo by making genetic knowledge accessible, actionable, and affordable. Our goal is to empower individuals to take control of their health, make smarter lifestyle choices, and work towards a healthier future.
