Genes For Sale!

BACKGROUND: According to the National Cancer Institute, the BRCA1 and BRCA2 are human genes that belong to a class of genes known as tumor suppressors. Mutations of these genes have been linked to the development of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. BRCA1 stands for "breast cancer susceptibility gene 1," and BRCA2 stands for "breast cancer susceptibility gene 2." A woman's lifetime risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer is greatly increased if she inherits a harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2. Men with harmful BRCA1 mutations also have an increased risk of breast cancer and may have an increased risk of pancreatic cancer, testicular cancer and early-onset prostate cancer. However, male breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer appear to be more strongly associated with the BRCA2 gene mutations.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS? According to estimates, about 12 percent of women in the general population will develop breast cancer sometime during their lifetime compared to about 60 percent of women who have inherited a harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2. A woman who has inherited a harmful mutation in these genes is about five-times more likely to develop breast cancer than a woman who does not have such a mutation. Lifetime risk estimates for ovarian cancer among women in the general population show that 1.4 percent will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer compared to 15 to 40 percent of women who have a harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation.

GENE PATENTING: According to the American Civil Liberties Union, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office grants patents on human genes, which means patent holders own the exclusive rights to those genetic sequences, their usage, and their chemical composition. Anyone who makes or uses a patented gene without permission of the patent holder is committing infringements and can be sued. Gene patents are granted for 20 years. Currently, Myriad Genetics, a private biotechnology company based in Utah, controls patents on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Because of its patents, Myriad has the right to prevent anyone else from testing, studying or even looking at the genes. The company also holds the exclusive rights to any mutations along those genes. A 2005 study found that nearly 20 percent of human genes are patented.

CONCERNS ABOUT GENE PATENTING: Many patients and doctors are concerned about the implications of gene patenting.
