No nothing that large has been successfully patented. Also a key difference is the company has to create something. Since you and all your genes exist in nature your fine.

Corn existed in nature. Monsanto has bastardized it. Don't think they would hesitate to do the same to humans for cash.

I imagine some day it will become advantageous for humans to alter their genetic makeup. Maybe people will receive genetic updates just like a computer receives a bugfix. What are the implications? Do you think companies will make mandatory genetic additions if you are to be their employee? Will there be laws that give companies rights over you if your genetics possess their proprietary genes?

That corn has man-made genes. Don't be born in a lab and your fine. Monsanto only owns their specific gene not all corn.
