Can Helix test results be used by employers to make decisions about hiring, firing or promotion?

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (or GINA) is a federal law that makes it illegal for employers to make decisions about whether to hire or fire employees based on genetic information. The law also prohibits labor organizations from discriminating against an individual based on genetic information. It is important to note that GINA’s employment protections do not extend to all employees in all circumstances. Additional information can be found here.
