| Genetic Discrimination Protection Laws Enactment/Enforcement |
DF-8000.3030 |
Programs that establish and enforce federal or state legislation which prohibits discrimination based on genetic testing revealing a gene mutation that increases the risk that an individual has an inherited disorder. Most notable is the federal Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) which has two parts: Title I, which makes it illegal for health insurance providers to use or require genetic information to make decisions about a person's health insurance eligibility or coverage; and Title II, which prohibits discrimination in employment based on genetic information and, with certain exceptions, prohibits an employer from requesting, requiring or purchasing genetic information. The law also prohibits use of genetic information in employment decisions (including hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job assignments and other terms, conditions and privileges of employment) by employers with 15 or more employees (including state and local governments). It also applies to employment agencies, labor organizations, joint labor-management and apprentice training programs, and the federal government. However GINA and other similar laws do not protect people from genetic discrimination in every circumstance. For example, GINA does not protect against genetic discrimination related to forms of insurance other than health insurance, including life, disability or long-term care insurance. |

Students who are capable of performing at higher levels when compared to others of the same age, experience, and environment in one or more domains, require sufficient access to appropriate learning opportunities to realize their potential and may need support and guidance to develop socially and emotionally as well as in their areas of talent. Not all gifted children look or act alike. Giftedness exists in every demographic group and personality type. It is important that adults look hard to discover potential and support gifted children as they reach for their personal best. |

| Glycogen Storage Disease |
YF-3000.3365 |
A group of genetically-linked metabolic disorders that involve the enzymes that are responsible for regulating glycogen metabolism, i.e., creating glycogen from glucose (sugar), transporting the glycogen to and from storage areas within cells, and extracting glucose from the glycogen as needed to meet the body's energy requirements. The enzyme defect causes either abnormal concentrations of glycogen (too much or too little) or incorrectly or abnormally formed glycogen; and, depending of the form of the disease, creates problems that may affect the body as a whole or specific parts of the body, principally the liver and the muscles, the most common sites for glycogen storage. Symptoms associated with the liver form of the disease include hypoglycemia and liver enlargement. Those associated with the muscle form of the disease range from weakness and cramps to potentially fatal heart enlargement. The most common form of glycogen storage disease is von Gierke's disease. |
