No, it's specifically a part of applications now that states you don't have to disclose these results from genetic testing. There's a significant difference between purposefully not disclosing a pre-existing condition (actual illness/injury) and a genetic test that might or might not show a predisposition to certain illnesses.

Like I say, at this point in time, they specify that they're not asking and you don't have to disclose these tests. Will that change down the road? Perhaps. My guess is it would come down to selection bias, but I wouldn't know of the timeline.
