Definition
Genetic information refers to data about an individual's genetic traits, which are inherited from their parents through DNA. This information can include details about an individual's genes, family medical history, and the presence or absence of specific genetic markers that may be associated with certain diseases or conditions. Genetic information is protected under various laws, such as the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) in the United States, which prohibits discrimination in employment and health insurance based on genetic information.
