A 50-year-old male has just learned that he has a history of early-onset colorectal cancer in his family. One of his brothers and a maternal uncle developed colorectal cancer at an early age. His physician has suggested that he and his family consider having genetic testing to determine whether they carry the gene that increases the risk for early-onset colorectal cancer. After seeing the physician, the patient tells you that he does not think he or his family members will want to have the genetic testing because “We don’t want our insurance companies to deny us coverage.” How would you respond to this patient’s concerns about the possibility of his insurance company discriminating against him based on genetic information?
