FSG describes recommendations for adults, both men and women. Speak to a clinician about your goals, history and whether genetic testing answers the question you have. The page is general information, not personal medical advice.

No blood sample is specified for this test. FSG’s process uses a non-invasive swab from inside the cheek, with a clinical questionnaire and consent. WellNest will confirm how collection and return are arranged locally.

FSG states five weeks after the laboratory receives the sample. This does not include local collection, shipping or a clinician appointment. Confirm the expected end-to-end timing with WellNest.

No. Genetic risk is not a diagnosis or a prediction that you will become ill. Other genes, your environment and habits also matter. A test may not examine every relevant variant, so a reassuring result is not an all-clear. Continue your usual care and recommended screening.

Do not start, stop or change a medicine based on this report alone. Medication-response findings need interpretation by your prescriber, alongside other factors that affect your care.

Before testing, ask for the consent and privacy documents covering who receives results, laboratory processing, international transfers, sample storage or disposal, retention and any research use. Findings may matter to relatives too. The BioBank sharing screens shown here are a planned feature, not a statement about the laboratory’s current permissions.

No. You will receive a digital report. BioBank access is coming soon and is intended to provide an additional way to view your genomic information alongside other health records. The app is still in development; availability and final features are not yet confirmed.
