title: Genetics and insurance.
abstract: Both the membership and terms of reference of the Genetics and Insurance Committee (GAIC) are under review. The Department of Health is currently seeking twelve new members of the committee, as part of its response to a Select Committee report last year on the use of genetic tests by the insurance industry. This article reproduces the Select Committee's recommendations and some of the Government's response, and sets them in context.
