Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA)

GINA guarantees privacy for you and your genes.

GINA prohibits group health plans and health insurers from denying coverage to a healthy individual or charging that person higher premiums based solely on a genetic predisposition to developing a disease in the future.
