Abstract

Genetic discrimination (GD) is the differential or unfair profiling of an individual based on genetic data. This article summarizes the actions of the Genetic Discrimination Observatory (GDO) in addressing GD, and recent developments in GD since late 2020. It shows GD can take many forms in today’s rapidly evolving society.

Keywords: genetic discrimination, ELSI, intersex, moratorium, insurance contract, genetic databases
