Brand Details

Type: Brand

Description: 23andMe is a personal genomics and biotechnology company that provides direct-to-consumer genetic testing services. Customers submit a saliva sample, which is analyzed using genotyping to identify specific locations in their genome. The results are then used to generate personalized reports covering ancestry, traits, and genetic health risks. These reports are not intended to diagnose diseases or guide medical decisions, but rather to provide insights into an individual's genetic predispositions. The company also offers additional services like family health history tracking, DNA relative finder, personalized health recommendations, and access to genetic clinicians through telehealth. As of February 1, 2025, 23andMe has genotyped over 14 million individuals.
