What Does GINA Mean? A Guide to the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act

The Coalition for Genetic Fairness publicly announces a new online resource entitled “What Does GINA Mean? A Guide to the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act”. The tool provides a functional outline of GINA’s protections and how the legislation impacts every individual in the nation.

The guide also includes a history of the legislation, hypothetical situations of genetic discrimination, and key examples and definitions. The Coalition encourages individuals, organizations, and businesses to access the resource and develop those portions related to your work and area of expertise. The Coalition will gather these comments to enhance the tool for the overall benefit of public education on GINA and in preparation for the pending regulations.
