Agree, it's murky. All involved parties think they've won, which is an immediate red light. Allowing Myriad's patents to stand where they've introduced a few new nucleotides has opened Pandora's box. This is NOT a victory for those who oppose the patenting of human genes. Frankly, the battle was lost when patenting of ANY genes was permitted.
