"23andMe Holding Co...in collaboration with 20 lung cancer advocacy organizations...announced a new study to help advance research in lung cancer. The focus of the Lung Cancer Genetics Study is to better understand the genetics of people with lung cancer in order to improve detection, risk reduction, and care."

"23andMe Holding Co...and the Colorectal Cancer Alliance (Alliance), the largest nonprofit organization dedicated to ending colorectal cancer, announced a collaboration to help advance research on colorectal cancer in the Black/African American community."

"23andMe Holding Co...released three new genetic reports for 23andMe+ members on breast, colorectal and prostate cancer. The reports are based on statistical models known as polygenic risk scores (PRS), developed by 23andMe through its proprietary research database. These PRS reports calculate the likelihood of an individual developing one of these cancers, based on thousands of genetic variants associated with the disease."

"23andMe Holding Co...today announced the Company has received a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance to expand its existing BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) Genetic Health Risk Report.

"23andMe Holding Co...today received FDA clearance for a genetic health risk report on a hereditary prostate cancer marker...This is the Company’s third cancer risk report clearance, following the FDA’s prior authorization for 23andMe’s BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) Genetic Health Risk report and its clearance for MUTYH-Associated Polyposis (MAP), a hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome...These two reports along with the new Hereditary Prostate Cancer (HOXB13-Related) report have been included by the FDA in a single 'Cancer Predisposition Risk Assessment System' regulation...These three 23andMe reports are the only direct-to-consumer genetic health risk reports for inherited cancers that have been authorized by the FDA for use without prescription."
