Answer to Question 1

A
The Codes of Ethics include in this mandate the right that people have to seek and receive ge-nomic heath care that is nondiscriminatory, confidential, private, and that enables those served to make informed decisions.

Answer to Question 2

The goals of the Personal Health Care Initiative are to link clinical and genomic information to support personalized health care, protect individuals from discrimination-based or unauthorized use of genetic information, ensure the accuracy and clinical validity of genetic tests performed for medical application purposes, and develop common policies for access to genomic databases for federally-sponsored programs.
