We should all be very proud of our United States Supreme Court - TopicsExpress



          

We should all be very proud of our United States Supreme Court Justices for making the ruling this morning that companies cannot patent naturally occurring genes, such as the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. The BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations are heritable mutations, meaning that a person may inherit them through their mother or father. These genetic mutations can increase a woman’s risk of developing ovarian cancer to between 10 and 60 percent. Applaud the Supreme Court on this decision as there is much to be learned regarding genetic related cancers such as BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 as well as Lynch Syndrome. This opens the door for individuals to truly make informed decisions
