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.

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.
