Genomic medicine has the potential to be a cornerstone of medical testing, treatment, and clinical integration.
Without doubt, the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision invalidating
Myriad’s patents on BRCA1 and BRCA2 is already changing the testing
landscape for those genes. What other changes can we expect? How will
the decision impact pathology and our patients? What did it take to win
the case?
As a co-plaintiff in this landmark case, the College of
American Pathologists (CAP) and all pathologists have cause to celebrate
the Court's ruling. The CAP has assembled a panel of leading experts,
including the researcher who discovered BRCA1 and BRCA2, and the ACLU
attorney who argued for the plaintiffs and won. Listen as they, along
with two leading molecular genetic pathologists, discuss the Supreme
Court decision and the impact it will have on patient care.
