Mary-Claire King (born February 27, 1946) is an American geneticist. She was the first to show that breast cancer can be inherited due to mutations in the gene she called BRCA1. She studies human genetics and is particularly interested in genetic heterogeneity and complex traits.
«È un primo passo, ma importante per pazienti e medici» dice Mary-Claire King senza troppe illusioni: Myriad farà appello con l’appoggio dell’intera industria biotech. Però mentre stava aspettando la sentenza, ha «ricevuto un regalo». Tre ricercatori le hanno anticipato una scoperta di cui i prossimi giudici dovranno tenere conto.
