I’m curious about all of these but this one caught my attention –
“12. Next generation sequencing method for predicting the risk of developing late onset Alzheimer’s disease”
Does this patent actually describe any new NGS technology, or just its application to predicting one very specific risk? If the latter, then there could be X * Y patents granted where X is the number of sequencing technologies and Y is the number of risks – sounds pretty sketchy to me.
