Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Certain "genetic issues" fall under the term "disabilities" All disabilities (whether learning, hearing, vision or physical) fall under the ADA (American Disabilities Association) which protects the rights of those with disabilities. It illegal fire someone solely based on their genetic issue. If it impairs with the level or quality of work they contribute, either accommodations can be provided, or other compromises can be set up.
