Are you talking about full genome sequencing or just DNA sequencing? I think full genome is more towards the £600 to £1,000 range.
I’ve had DNA done with 23andme. Got it when it was relatively new several years ago.

So, if you discover that you have faulty genes that would lead to a medical condition; do you have to mention this on the application form if taking out a life insurance policy?I presume this is where they can tell if you have genes that could indicate medical conditions and other traits? Personally I'd say don't ask questions you don't want the answers to.
Also, there's no guarantee the company doing the work won't keep the data archived and that it won't be slurped by government agencies or even shared with the likes of insurance companies in the future (that could spell disaster for family premiums).
Excuse my dystopian paranoia...
It could amount to insurance fraud if you didn't declare a condition that you were aware of at the time of taking out a health or life insurance policy. I think you have to declare anything newly discovered at renewal but it'll be in the T&Cs. It's a tricky trade-off and why I'm personally very wary of this sort of thing.So, if you discover that you have faulty genes that would lead to a medical condition; do you have to mention this on the application form if taking out a life insurance policy?

Bit of an odd question perhaps, but as we are in the age where cost has dropped from $5 billion to about $300, I'm tempted to give it a shot. Just out of pure curiosity.
