As 23andMe Struggles, Concerns Surface About Its Genetic Data

The genetic testing company 23andMe, once valued at $6 billion, is facing an uncertain future.

The turmoil has raised questions about what might happen to the genetic data of the company’s roughly 15 million customers.

23andMe is on the brink. What happens to all its DNA data?

a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union who specializes in privacy and technology policy, said the patchwork of state laws governing DNA data makes the generic data of millions potentially vulnerable to being sold off, or even mined by law enforcement.

Anne Wojcicki, co-founder and the company’s CEO has said she’ll consider selling 23andMe—which means the DNA of 23andMe’s 15 million customers would be up for sale, too.
