DNA tests and insurance in the UK

[kiterunner]

I've just seen this in "Family Tree" magazine and thought it might be worth pointing out to those in the UK who are worried about insurance implications, though of course it doesn't apply in other countries:

The Association of British Insurers has an agreement with the Government about the use of predictive genetic testing... The Code specifially prevents companies from using the results of a predictive genetic test for insurance purposes. The only exception is if you are applying for life insurance of over £500,000 and you have had a test for Huntington's disease.

So no need to worry.
