What is the Myriad Promise?

• A. Commitment to accurate and affordable results
• B. Fastest possible results
• C. Free testing
• D. Global access

Answer: (A)

The central idea being tested is the value proposition a hereditary testing provider emphasizes to patients and clinicians: that results will be reliable and affordable. Accuracy is essential because hereditary cancer risk decisions—like increased surveillance or preventive options—depend on correct results. If a test isn’t accurate, it can lead to inappropriate management or unnecessary anxiety. Affordability matters because even the best test is less useful if patients can’t access or pay for it; lower costs help more people get appropriate testing and downstream care.

Fast turnaround is valuable, but it isn’t the core commitment being highlighted here. Free testing isn’t the standard promise, and global access, while important, describes reach rather than the fundamental guarantee about the quality and cost of the results.
