Under a longstanding agreement between the Association of British Insurers and the Department of Health and Social Care, insurers in the UK are not permitted to inquire about or consider the results of genetic testing for aortic disease when determining insurance premiums. This protection is specific to genetic testing. If any other diagnostic testing has been conducted, that information must be disclosed. Additionally, insurers may ask about family medical history, particularly if any immediate family members have had significant health issues or died before the age of 60 or 65.
