Understand the genetic factors behind fertility challenges. Rodinia is a genetic test that detects mutations linked to infertility, helping your healthcare provider determine the best treatment approach for you and increasing your chances of conception.

Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples globally. Male factors account for around 35% of cases, female factors for approximately 45%, and the remaining cases involve a combination of both. In 10–15% of men and women, genetic abnormalities are the underlying cause. Identifying these mutations provides crucial information that can guide treatment decisions.

The test uses a simple, painless cheek swab—no needles, no blood. Rodinia offers panels for women, men, and couples, with add-on options for those who have experienced recurrent miscarriage.

Why Choose Rodinia?

  • Identify genetic causes – Detect mutations linked to male and female infertility
  • Simple cheek swab – Painless collection, no needles, no blood
  • Guide treatment decisions – Help your doctor recommend the most effective approach
  • Panels for individuals and couples – Test separately or together
  • Recurrent miscarriage add-on – Haemophilia and thrombosis screening available
  • Results in 2–3 weeks – From sample arrival at the laboratory

What Can Rodinia Help With?

Based on your Rodinia results, your doctor can identify the most beneficial treatment for you, taking into consideration potential complications. Treatment options may include:

  • Lifestyle changes – Maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, avoiding alcohol
  • Medication – Ovulation induction drugs, hormones
  • Surgical procedures – Such as testicular sperm extraction
  • Cryopreservation – Oocyte harvesting at a young age to preserve fertility
  • Assisted reproductive technology – Such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF)
Results in 2–3 weeks

Results are available within 2–3 weeks from the sample arriving at the laboratory. Please allow up to 4 weeks to receive your results from the date of purchase.

Quick note: Make sure you fill in the document with your details and send it back with the test kit. Use the prepaid envelope provided to send your sample back to our UK address.

Good to Know

Rodinia is a genetic screening test that identifies mutations linked to infertility. A positive result indicates you carry genetic variants that may be contributing to fertility challenges, which can help guide treatment decisions.

Genetic factors are just one piece of the fertility puzzle. Your results should be considered alongside other clinical assessments and investigations.

We recommend discussing your results with a fertility specialist, genetic counsellor, or your GP. They can help you understand what your results mean and work with you to determine the best path forward for your family planning journey.

Sample Collection: This test uses a simple saliva sample collected at home. Follow the kit instructions carefully. No fasting required.

Results Timing: Results are typically available within 3-4 weeks.

Genetic Counselling: We strongly recommend discussing your results with a fertility specialist or genetic counsellor. Results can directly inform treatment decisions including IVF protocols, donor gamete consideration, and recurrent miscarriage management.

Couples Testing: If both partners are being tested, both samples can be sent in the same return envelope.
