GINA

GINA, or the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, is a law that protects people from unfair treatment based on their genetic information. It prevents employers and health insurers from using your genetic data—such as risk for certain diseases—to make decisions about hiring, firing, or coverage. GINA ensures that individuals can access genetic testing and research without fear of discrimination, encouraging the use of genetics in medicine and research while safeguarding privacy. It promotes fairness and supports advancements in personalized healthcare by preventing discrimination based solely on your genetic makeup.
