Description

Using genetic information to predict a patients risk of illness is a remarkable advance — but it can also be misused. The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), passed in 2008, exists to make sure it helps rather than harms.

What this course covers:

  • What GINA is and why it became law
  • How GINA protects people from genetic discrimination
  • Limits on how employers may use genetic information
  • Limits on how health insurers may use genetic information

Relevant for HR, benefits, and health care staff who handle genetic health information.
