米国雇用機会均等委員会による遺伝情報と差別に関するFAQ
3. What are some examples of genetic information discrimination?
Genetic information discrimination occurs when an employer uses genetic information to make an employment
decision. For example, it is illegal for an employer to refuse to hire an applicant because her grandmother has
breast cancer and the employer is afraid that the applicant will be diagnosed with breast cancer, causing the
employer's health insurance costs to increase.
Genetic information discrimination also occurs when an employer unlawfully obtains genetic information. For
example, it is illegal for an employer to perform an Internet search to find information about an employee's
family medical history (medical conditions of relatives).
Genetic information discrimination also occurs when an employer unlawfully shares genetic information. For
example, it is illegal for an employer to tell an employee's co-workers that the employee's father was recently
diagnosed with heart disease.
Determining whether genetic information discrimination has occurred may be complicated. If you think the law
may have been violated, you can call EEOC at 1-800-669-4000 to discuss the situation. You can also speak
with your supervisor or another manager at the company, your parents, your teachers, or another trusted adult.
