STOREGENE
For Patients
Take control of
your health
Whole genome analysis puts you in control of your health journey by offering personalised insights into your genetic health, disease risk, and potential responses to medications. Get a deeper understanding of your genetic makeup, and feel empowered to make informed decisions with your clinician about your lifestyle, preventive measures, and healthcare choices. Having a comprehensive view of your genetics can provide peace of mind, knowing that you’ve taken proactive steps to understand and manage your health.
Medication Optimisation
99.7% of the population carries a variant which could lead to an adverse drug reaction and yet medications are still prescribed to individuals on a one-size-fits all basis. By sequencing your genome your clinician can inform medication choices and dosages based on your genetic profile, reducing the risk of adverse drug reactions and improving treatment efficacy.

An entire lifetime
of Genomics
Once you’ve had your whole genome sequenced, you have access to this wealth of genetic information for the life. This means, as the world’s understanding of genetics evolves, you won’t need to re-sequence to benefit from new discoveries. We can simply retest your existing data. To find out more about reasons to choose whole genome sequencing, visit our why whole genome page.
Health and Wellness Guidance
In addition to medical insights, we can also offer guidance on nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle choices that are personalised to your genetic makeup, helping you optimise your well-being. As with everything else, as new discoveries are made, we can test you without the need for re-sequencing.
How it works
We know it sounds complicated, but the whole process can be broken down in to a few simple steps
1. We collect consent
We aim to keep you informed every step of the way. To start the process we will collect a consent form to sequence and store your genome. You can withdraw your consent and manage your preferences at any time.
2. Simple sample collection
For consistently reliable Whole Genome Sequencing we require 4ml of veinous blood. Our excellent phlebotomy service can be scheduled either at-home or in-clinic. The whole process is kit-free, so you don’t need to remember anything apart from your own name.
3. Sequenced. Stored. Managed.
Your sample is sent to an ISO-accredited laboratory in the UK and whole genome sequence data is available on StoreGene’s CGOS platform in less than 4 weeks. You and your clinician can now manage your genome data to access personalised reports which are unique to your genome.
4. Consultation and clinical context
We believe no results should be given without clinical context. That’s why we’ve partnered with some of the leading genetic clinicians in the UK to go through your results with you. Once your analysis is complete, we’ll share the reports with your clinician and send you a notification to schedule an appointment.
5. No decision without you
Before ordering a test or running an analysis, you will be asked to give consent. Ask any questions you may have along the way (as this can be quite complex stuff!) – your clinician can offer insight and support every step of the way.
