Your genome
From £4,995, at home or in Marylebone
Whole genome sequencing in London from The Wellness. Your genome read once at thirty fold depth in an ISO 15189 laboratory, interpreted by a registered genetic counsellor and a doctor, kept on your record for life and read again every year. From £4,995, with the sample taken at home or in Marylebone.
Every cell you have carries the same three billion letters. A tube of saliva at home, or a blood draw in Marylebone, is all we need.
Read once, thirty times over so no letter is in doubt, in a laboratory accredited to ISO 15189.
Interpreted by a registered genetic counsellor and a doctor, written into your record, and held for life. The raw data is yours.
Every year the laboratory reads your stored genome against what has been learned since, without a second sample.
£4,995 for one person
£9,995 for one person
£29,995 for four people
These prices sit at the top of the London range, and what they carry that a cheaper one does not is the ACMG list at version 3.3, full pharmacogenomics against CPIC and DPWG, a re read every year without a second sample, and a doctor who writes the plan into a record the clinic already holds.
Around 6% of people carry a finding on the ACMG list that changes what a doctor does, more often cardiovascular than cancer.
ACMG secondary findings list v3.3, Genetics in Medicine, 2025, and a cohort of 3,972 exomes read against it, 6.2% with an actionable finding, 3.0% cardiovascular, 2.0% cancer.
Prescribing against a pharmacogenomic report cut adverse drug reactions by 30% in a randomised trial of 6,944 patients across seven countries.

Your genome does not replace the doctor, the history or the blood work.
Reading a whole genome cost about a hundred million pounds twenty years ago, and a consumer laboratory now lists it at under four hundred pounds. A genome on your record is read again every year for as long as you hold it.
A model reading your record can only reason from what is in it, and most records hold a visit a year. Your genome is the one part of your record that is complete on the first day.
At The Wellness your genome is £4,995 for one person, £9,995 with pharmacogenomics, polygenic risk and an annual doctor review for three years, and £29,995 for a family of four. Every tier includes thirty fold sequencing in an ISO 15189 laboratory, a registered genetic counsellor before and after, a doctor who writes the plan into your record, and a genome read again every year. Nothing is charged when you book. The counsellor’s first conversation comes first.
Yes. A kit at around £399 reads the same three billion letters. What differs is who reads them, what they are looking for, who explains the result to you, whether anyone acts on it, and whether it is still being read next year. Private providers in the UK generally charge £500 to over £1,000 for sequencing with a light report. We are not in that tier.
No. This is your whole genome, read once to clinical depth, interpreted by a registered genetic counsellor and a doctor, written into your record at The Wellness and read again every year.
Saliva at home, from a kit couriered to your door and returned in the prepaid box, or a blood draw in Marylebone with the counsellor’s first conversation on the same visit. The genome is the same either way.
Most genomes are reported within twelve weeks of the laboratory receiving the sample, and the counsellor books your results conversation as soon as the report is signed. The first conversation happens before the sample, so you know what can and cannot be found before you give it.
It reads the eighty one genes on the ACMG list where a finding changes what a doctor does, your carrier status where you ask for it, how your body handles the medicines you are most likely to be prescribed, and your polygenic risk for coronary disease. Most people learn that nothing on the list needs acting on. It does not diagnose every condition, it does not replace your history, your examination or your blood work, and it does not predict a life.
The counsellor tells you first, in a conversation. The doctor reviews it with you, writes the plan into your record and makes the referral where one is needed. Where a finding runs in families, the Family Genome reads the others for it, and we help you tell the relatives who should know.
You, the counsellor and your doctor at The Wellness. Your raw data is yours to download at any time and is deleted the day you ask. It is never sold and never shared for research without your written consent. Under the code agreed between the UK government and the insurance industry you do not have to disclose a predictive genomic result to an insurer, with one exception for Huntington’s disease on life cover above £500,000.
Because what is known about a genome changes every year while the sequence itself does not. Each year the laboratory re reads your stored genome against what has been learned since, without a second sample, and the counsellor writes to you only when something has changed.
Yes, in the Family Genome, where the counsellor agrees it is in the child’s interest. Findings about adult onset conditions in a child follow the professional guidance on children and genomics, and the conversation about what to look for happens before any sample is taken.
No. Book the counsellor’s first conversation directly. If your own doctor or a specialist has asked for the genome, bring their letter and the report goes to them as well as into your record.
One sequence, held on your record at The Wellness, and the raw data is yours. A finding in it is also information about your parents, your siblings and your children, and the counsellor helps you decide who to tell.
Nothing is charged when you book. The counsellor’s first conversation comes before any sample.
