Genetic data makes it possible to predict the future health status of a healthy person at the time of the survey with a high probability and can, therefore, be used as grounds for discrimination in the use of third parties. The question of the protection of personality, physical and intellectual the integrity of a person in the conditions of the progress of biology, medicine and biochemistry has repeatedly become the subject of consideration in the reports of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the World Health Organization. The purpose of the article is to analyze the right regulation of predictive medicine through research in this context the right to privacy and protection against discrimination. As predictive medicine is a rather new branch of medicine, there is currently no single regulatory framework for regulation of relations in this area.
