In May 2016, the ACLU filed a complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) against Myriad Genetics, alleging the company refused to provide patients with their full genetic records, including benign variants, as required by HIPAA.
1
Myriad subsequently provided the withheld data to the four patients involved but stated it was doing so "voluntarily" and did not rescind its position that the information was not part of the "designated record set."
2
This indicates that while Myriad's HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices (last updated September 28, 2023) outlines various patient rights, the company has historically presented obstacles to patients exercising these rights, reflecting basic data control options with significant limitations.
3
The ACLU's complaint and Myriad's initial refusal to comply with HIPAA requirements also point to a reactive approach to regulatory compliance. Furthermore, Myriad's actions, including its 2004 decision to stop contributing data to public repositories and its 15-year patent exclusivity on BRCA genes, demonstrate a stance that has been in opposition to patient data access and digital rights, leading to advocacy efforts by organizations like the ACLU.
