If that person created that gene from scratch and there is no natural equivalent, then yes. However if the gene already exists then they cannot.

It would be like inventing and patenting the wheel in the first case (since nobody else has it yet) and trying to patent fire in the second (since anyone could have it).

That is a question for which some would say yes and others would say no. The first issue to agree on would be the answer to "What is a perfect human being?" Since it is highly unlikely that any agreement would ever be reached, it is probably best that attempts to create a perfect human being not be attempted.
