4 Ways the Gene Patent Ruling Affects You This article explains what gene patenting is‚ Myriad Genetics and its role in gene patents‚ and how gene patents affect patients everywhere. It also states how when a gene is patented‚ it limits genetic research on the particular gene. The main argument in the article is research pertaining to two genes‚ BRCA1 and BRCA2‚ genes strongly associated to breast and ovarian cancer risk. By patenting these two genes‚ Myriad has almost complete control over all
