The tests that will be done on your DNA are for research purposes, and are not the same as clinical genetic tests. The results cannot be used for individual diagnosis. This is because they only pick up common genetic variations that are not directly linked to diseases. Clinical genetic tests use different methods and are designed to detect rarer genes directly linked to disease. As such, we will not feed back your individual results. This is considered ‘best practice’ ethically. However, scientific developments in genetics are happening rapidly and this policy will be regularly reviewed. If you have any concerns about genetic conditions, you are advised to speak to a medical professional.
