23andMe Holding Co. Class A Common Stock (NASDAQ: ME) is a leading genetics-led consumer healthcare and biopharmaceutical company. Founded in 2006, 23andMe specializes in personal genome services through DNA analysis technologies and interactive web-based tools. The company’s core service allows individuals to gain deep insights into their genetic ancestry, health predispositions, and phenotypic traits.
23andMe's mission is to personalize healthcare by supporting meaningful discoveries through genetic research. The company's primary revenue comes from its Consumer and Research Services segment, which includes the sale of direct-to-consumer personal genome services (PGS). This involves shipping DNA collection kits to users, who can then access detailed reports on their genetic makeup through 23andMe’s platform.
The company also has a Therapeutics segment that focuses on leveraging genetic data to develop new treatments. Notably, 23andMe presented positive Phase 2 safety and efficacy data from their anti-CD200R1 antibody, 23ME-00610, at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.
Despite its groundbreaking work, 23andMe recently faced a significant data breach, affecting approximately 7 million users. Hackers specifically targeted the genetic information of Jewish and Chinese customers, selling the data on the dark web. This incident has led to a class-action lawsuit and ongoing investigations.
In research, 23andMe has also made significant strides. For example, the company conducted the world's largest study on the LRRK2 G2019S variant linked to Parkinson’s disease, with support from The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Findings from this study revealed new insights into the variant's impact and its prevalence in various populations, including unexpected hotspots in Latin Caribbean communities.
23andMe continues to expand its offerings, providing reports that calculate genetic likelihood for conditions like bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression for its 23andMe+ Premium members. These reports are based on polygenic risk scores (PRS) developed through the company’s extensive research database.
With a strong commitment to advancing personalized healthcare and continuous innovation in genetic research, 23andMe remains a significant player in the biotechnology and consumer healthcare sectors.
