In the US, I believe that would not be legal under GINA (the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act of 2008) https://www.genome.gov/about-genomics/policy-issues/Genetic-...

(Edit: per tssva—LTD & life are generally state laws, GINA is health ins and employment)

GINA covers health insurance and employment decisions. It doesn't cover life or disability insurance.

Looking, you’re right. Those are regulated at the state level. But it does look like pretty much every state has a law.

Life insurance companies already factor risk from family history without using a genetic database

They also take into account smoking. Playing devil's advocate if a car insurance company can charge you a higher premium because you are male why shouldn't a life insurance company use your genetic code?

The US would have to care to enforce it first.

Interesting how close this statement is to US does not enforce care about health.

Or rather, US does not have health care.
