23andMe has sold the rights to develop a drug based on its usersโ€™ DNA

10 January 2020

 

DNA testing company 23andMe has sold the rights to a new drug that it has developed using its customersโ€™ data. It is the first time the company has signed a deal to license a drug it developed.

 

The deal for the drug, which is being investigated as a potential treatment for inflammatory diseases, is with Spanish pharmaceutical company Almirall.

 

โ€œThis is a seminal moment for 23andMe,โ€ Emily Drabant Conley, 23AndMeโ€™s vice-president of business development told Bloomberg. โ€œWeโ€™ve now gone from database to discovery to developing a drug.โ€

 

The drug is likely to be the first of many the company licenses, says Tim Frayling, a molecular geneticist at the University of Exeter, UK. As 23andMeโ€™s genetic database grows โ€“ it has doubled in the last couple of years โ€“ it will become more likely to yield medically useful information, he says.

 

23andMe has sold in excess of 10 million DNA testing kits. More than 80 per cent of their customers have agreed to their data being used by the company for research and by scientists trying to understand the causes of diseases and how best to treat them.

 

23andMe has already formed partnerships with several academic groups. In 2018, the company entered into a four-year collaboration with pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline. It has also been trying to identify potential new treatments since launching its 23andMe Therapeutics division in 2015.

 

โ€œIn general, I think itโ€™s really good that human genetic information is useful for drug discovery,โ€ says Frayling. But he questions whether it is fair for the company to financially profit from genetic data that its customers volunteered for medical research.

 

23andMeโ€™s terms of service state that by signing up for testing: โ€œYou specifically understand that you will not receive compensation for any research or commercial products that include or result from your genetic information or self-reported information.โ€

 

โ€œBut how aware are people that the company could make a lot of money from that?โ€ says Frayling. โ€œI suspect they might not know how profitable it is to them.โ€

 

Commentators have already suggested that companies that offer consumer genetic testing pay their customers for the data, rather than charge for it. โ€œIf [23andMe] turned it around and instead paid people $99, I strongly suspect theyโ€™d still be very profitable,โ€ says Frayling.
