BRCA gene positive and employment

waqas

Can some one help me with finding the specific US laws related to breast cancer gene positive status and employment. I know , no one can deny me employment or insurance based on gene positive status but if someone out there knows the specific articles of the laws that will be helpful.

thanks

The specific law would be the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act (known as GINA) passed in 2008. Here is a link with more information: http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/spotlight=thegeneticinformationnondiscriminationactgina.
