Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2006. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 33-34). In this study, we explore the impact of gene-based patents on the pricing and availability of genetic diagnostic tests. We also explore the nature and scope of the genetic diagnostics industry itself. Through data mining of the GeneTests database and gathering of pricing and procedure information from over 51 laboratories (using a range of sources including phone interviews), we created a unique database that links pricing, procedure and availability information for each sequencing-based gene diagnostic test offered in the US. In addition, we linked relevant gene-based patents to each gene in our database. Our results indicate a correlation between gene patents and test pricing, with an average non-patented test price of -$1330.31 (121 entries) compared to an average price of -$1419.58 for tests associated with gene patents (137 entries). by Philip Murray.
