Perfect, thank you. Can you self-refer without a doctor's note?

So far as I know, yes, it’s totally separate.

If you log onto the site, you should be able to find info re fees etc

Hello, I don't know how extensive their tests are - they may just offer standard types, such as testing for Celiac disease DNA, but you might want to try the website targeted-genomics.com. They're a really good company with great customer service. Also, requestatest.com is very good; however I don't know whether they do gene testing. I had a blood test done through them for Celiac, and they also are completely reliable. (I'm in the USA.) I hope you find what you're looking for.

You self test and gain information. You then take out an insurance policy for ill health.You make a claim against the policy. This is fraudulent activity.

They will find out.

You have left your fingerprints on this site by asking the question.

Fix your insurances before doing any tests
