Answer:

The Supreme Court of the United States ruled in Myriad Genetics, Inc. that human genes cannot be patented in the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

since DNA is a "natural product" Because there is no new intellectual property created when a gene is discovered, the Court determined that patents cannot be granted.
