Supreme Court nixes patents on isolated human genes

The court unanimously ruled isolated human genes cannot be patented, reversing decades of patents including Myriad Genetics. It approved patenting synthetic DNA for future medical breakthroughs and cancer tests while stressing open use of genetic information. Actress Angelina Jolie had highlighted the gene link to risk.

Court rules BRCA gene patents partly invalid but CDNA allowed

Supreme Court says naturally occurring DNA segments BRCA1 and BRCA2 cannot be patented, likely enabling more labs to offer tests and lower costs. It allows synthetic CDNA patents while maintaining protection for some test tools, a partial victory for Myriad and the biotech industry. There is a potential price drop as DNA Traits offers BRCA testing for 995 dollars.
