STOREGENE

For Individuals

Take control of
your health

Whole genome analysis offers 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.

doctor consulting with patient

Always informed by a specialist

We believe that no individual should be presented with a genetic report without being provided with clinical guidance and context. We’ve partnered with some of the leading genetic clinicians in the UK to go through your results with you. Once your analysis has been completed, we’ll share the reports with your clinician and send you a notification to schedule a consultation. After your consultation you have full access to your reports and your genomic data.

How it works

The whole process can be broken down in to a few simple steps:

Consent checkbox graphic

1. Place your order

Choose between standard and fast track. Once you have placed your order we will send you a consent form to sequence and store your genome data. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

2. Simple sample collection

For consistently reliable Whole Genome Sequencing we require a blood sample which can be easily obtained at home through our simple dried blood spot collection kits

Store Data graphic

3. Sequenced. Stored. Managed.

Your sample is sent to an ISO-accredited local laboratory and your data is transferred to us within 30 days to be stored on our high security platform.

4. Consultation and clinical context

Once we have carried out your requested analysis, we’ll share the final reports with your specified clinician and send you a notification to schedule a consultation.

Benefits

Peace of mind 

Whole genome sequencing offers a powerful tool for peace of mind by providing insight into your genetic predispositions to non-communicable diseases like heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Cardiovascular diseases alone account for 31% of all global deaths, many of which could be prevented through early detection and proactive measures. Similarly, about 5-10% of cancers are hereditary, meaning early identification through genetic testing can lead to more effective prevention or treatment strategies.

Medication confidence

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.

 A lifetime of insights

Once you’ve had your whole genome sequenced, you have access to this wealth of genetic information for 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.

Family planning

Whole genome sequencing empowers family planning by revealing potential inherited conditions, enabling informed decisions for a healthier future. This proactive step ensures your family has the best start in life.
