Whole genome sequencing reads all of your DNA thirty times over in a laboratory accredited to ISO 15189. At The Wellness in Marylebone it costs from £1,695, as The Sentinel, for one person, with a report timed with the genetic counsellor’s appointment, confirmed when you request and a doctor to explain the result.
Whole genome sequencing reads all of your DNA thirty times over in a laboratory accredited to ISO 15189. It is interpreted against the genes where a finding changes what a doctor does, for how you respond to common medicines, and for inherited heart risk.
It suits adults who want to know about inherited risks that can be acted on, and families with a history of heart disease or cancer at a young age.
A registered genetic counsellor talks it through before and after, because a result can matter to relatives as well as to you.
A blood draw in the Marylebone clinic is all that is needed, or a saliva kit at home for anyone who prefers it. No fasting is needed.
You and the clinicians who interpret it. The raw data is yours to download and is deleted the day you ask.
No. Those read a small sample of points, while sequencing reads the whole genome and a counsellor and a doctor interpret it.
Choose the option, then a genetic counsellor rings to arrange the sample. Or ring 020 3951 3429.
