A note on the privacy of genetic information: As the field of personalized medicine grows and the use of genetic screening and therapies based on genetics becomes more commonplace, different policies are being enacted to protect individuals with genetic factors that may lead to disease from possible discriminatory action by health insurers and employers. While the United States passed the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act into law in 2008, other countries may not have put comprehensive protective legislation in place. The Michael J. Fox Foundation urges you to familiarize yourself with the relevant policies where you live. For more information on how 23andMe handles your genetic information, please read their privacy statement.
