Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008

Citation
Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA), Pub. L. No. 110-233, 122 Stat. 881 (May 21, 2008).

Overview
The Act is the leading federal protection of genetic information, but it offers only prohibition of genetic discrimination in health insurance and employment. GINA does not regulate access, security, and disclosure of genetic or whole genome sequence information across all potential users, nor does it protect against discrimination in other contexts.
