Genetic discrimination, a social risk associated with predictive testing, is the differential treatment of individuals based on genotypic difference rather than physical characteristics. While evidence for genetic discrimination exists, little is known about how individuals found to have the HD mutation cope with the potential for or experiences of genetic discrimination. The purpose of this study was to explore how individuals found to have the HD mutation manage the risk and experience of genetic discrimination. Semi\u2010structured individual interviews were conducted with 37 individuals who were found to have the HD mutation and analysed using grounded theory methods. The findings suggest four main strategies: \u201ckeeping low\u201d, minimizing, pre\u2010empting and confronting genetic discrimination. Strategies varied depending on individuals\u2019 level of engagement with genetic discrimination and the nature of the experience (actual experience of genetic discrimination or concern for its potential). This exploratory framework may explain the variation in approaches and reactions to genetic discrimination among individuals living with an increased risk for HD and may offer insight for persons at risk for other late\u2010onset genetic diseases to cope with genetic discrimination.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-0004.2007.00770.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,19]],"date-time":"2007-02-19T12:49:04Z","timestamp":1171889344000},"page":"220-231","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Managing
