Guests discuss Myriad Genetics and the BRCA breast cancer gene on In the Loop.

Does a company have the right to patent your DNA? That’s at the heart of a landmark case before the U.S. Supreme Court. We take a closer look at the case of Myriad Genetics, and how a decision will affect tens of thousands of women who get tested for a genetic mutation known to cause breast and ovarian cancers. #wyccintheloop
