The USA has GINA, so insurance companies cannot use your genetic information to charge you higher rates or deny you coverage.

In other countries you may be obliged to disclose any conditions found.

For actionable info on healthy people - possibly screening for recessive disorders.... eg 1 in 25 Caucasians carry cystic fibrosis, if you are a carrier you can get your partner screened and if you both do, screen the fetus or do IVF
