Other Information About Consent

If your research study includes genetic testing of research subjects, the following statement can be added to the RISKS section of the consent document (after the genetic testing risks):

"There is a Federal law called the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). In general, this law makes it illegal for health insurance companies, group health plans, and most large employers to discriminate against you based on your genetic information. However, it does not protect you against discrimination by companies that sell life insurance, disability insurance, or long-term care insurance."
