Genetic information is the information coded in the DNA or RNA sequence of nucleic acids. Information regarding the genetic status of an individual or a genetic disease that he or she has may derive from a variety of sources, including genetic diagnosis ; results of genetic tests; the manifestation of an illness or genetic disorder in the individual or any of his family members – that is, the “family medical history”; participation in genetic clinical research; and genetic information concerning a fetus.

•  The method of obtaining the information and its potential harm to the individual – the source of the information.
• What does the information reveal?
• What is the received information’s level of certainty, and how may it be interpreted?
• Disclosing information to third parties (family members, insurers, employers, and so on).
• The obligation to disclose genetic information versus the individual’s right to privacy.
• The right of an individual not to know genetic information about him/herself or descendants.
• Genetic-based discrimination (due to exposure of an individual’s genetic information)
