Biotech Company and Patients Face Off to Gain Access to Their Genetic Tests

A Utah-based biotech company that had refused to let four patients access their full genetic information has reversed course, a day before the American Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint with the federal government on behalf of patients in general. Myriad Genetics provided the patients late Wednesday with genetic information they requested in February. The ACLU filed a complaint on Thursday with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, calling on Myriad to release complete gene information to all patients whenever requested.
