metadata.value: The article examines current problems of discrimination on the grounds of genetic characteristics.
  For the first time, this problem was seriously raised by the scientific community in
  the USA, becoming a topic of debate and one of the areas of state legal policy. As a result,
  numerous laws were drafted and adopted both at the state and federal levels to prohibit disclosure
  of confidential human genetic information, as well as its misuse in areas of employment, insurance, education, housing, etc. The analysis of legislation and judicial practice has shown
  that the adopted measures have introduced common basic standards, according to which employment
  or promotion decisions should be based on qualifications and a person’s ability to
  perform a job, and not on the basis of presumed genetic factors that do not influence the effectiveness
  of their work at the current time. Insurance companies should take into account an
  individual’s current state of health, and the amount of rates and premiums should not be adjusted
  on the basis of predictive genetic information. Therefore, it is prohibited to discriminate
  on the basis of predictive genetic information and not on the basis of a pre-existing condition.
  The confidentiality of the results of genetic testing should be protected and the results of testing
  should not be disclosed to third parties (including insurance companies or employers). At
  the same time, federal genetic nondiscrimination law should not interfere with state laws that
  provide a higher level of protection against genetic discrimination, for example in housing,
  education, mortgages, etc.
