How does my health history impact this test?

Health Insights uses your genetics, combined with your sex and ethnicity, to give personal risk estimates. This estimate may additionally include other risk factors such as QRISK®3 and QDiabetes®-2018. It does not take your health history into account.

In the laboratory, we analyse your DNA using a tool called a genotyping array. In very rare cases, an individual’s health history can affect the genotyping accuracy. Examples include certain cancers, allogeneic bone marrow transplant, blood transfusions within 7 days of testing, and chemotherapy within 120 days of testing.
