(109 days)
The 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) uses qualitative genotyping to detect select clinically relevant variants in genomic DNA isolated from human saliva collected from individuals ≥18 years with the Oragene Dx model OGD500.001 for the purpose of reporting and interpreting genetic health risks, including the 23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for MUTYH-Associated Polyposis. The 23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for MUTYH-Associated Polyposis is indicated for reporting of the Y179C and the G396D variants in the MUTYH gene. The report describes if a person is at increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. The two variants included in this report are most common and best studied in people of Northern European descent and may not represent the majority of the MUTYH variants found in people of other ethnicities. The test report does not describe a person's overall risk of developing any type of cancer, and the absence of a variant tested does not rule out the presence of other variants that may be cancer-related. This test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare provider for recommended screenings or appropriate follow-up and should not be used to determine any treatments.
The 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) is an over-the-counter (direct-to-consumer), DNA testing service that provides information and tools for consumers to learn about and explore their DNA. The 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) is a currently marketed, non-invasive genetic information service that combines qualitative genotyping data covering genetic ancestry, traits, and certain heritable health conditions from a single multiplex assay with descriptive information derived from peer reviewed, published genetic research studies. It is a home use, over-the-counter (direct-to-consumer) DNA testing service intended to provide information and tools for consumers to learn about and explore their DNA. Customer saliva is self-collected using the Oragene-Dx® Device manufactured by DNA Genotek, Inc. Once the sample is collected, it is shipped to one of our Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratories for testing. DNA is isolated from the saliva and tested in a multiplex assay using a customized genotyping beadchip, reagents and instrumentation manufactured by Illumina. The multiplex assay simultaneously tests for more than 500,000 variants, including those for the previously authorized indications, as well as for the indications proposed herein. The raw data is generated using Illumina GenomeStudio software, and then sent to 23andMe. The data is then analyzed using the 23andMe's proprietary Coregen software, where a genotype is determined for each tested SNP. The results for certain of these SNPs are used to generate personalized reports for the customer that provide information about the detected genotype. Personalized reports are generated for each user that provide results of the testing performed. These reports tell the user which variant(s) has/have been detected in their sample and provide information on the risk of disease associated with the variant(s). If no variant was detected, that information is also provided. The personalized reports are designed to present scientific concepts to users in an easy-to-understand format. The reports provide scientifically valid information about the risks associated with the presence of a particular variant. The reports are designed to help users understand the meaning of their results and any appropriate actions that may be taken based on their results. The novel components in this traditional 510(k) submission are only (a) the variants to be reported, and (b) the qualitative reporting of risk for MAP.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) Genetic Health Risk Report for MUTYH-Associated Polyposis (MAP), based on the provided document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
| Study/Test | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Method Comparison (Accuracy) | Minimum of 99% PPA and NPA for each SNP | >99% PPA and NPA for all genotypes |
| Precision/Reproducibility | At least 99% correct calls at each laboratory site | 100% correct genotype calls for all samples; 100% reproducibility and 100% repeatability |
| DNA Input | 95% correct calls at a sample DNA concentration of 5 ng/μL | 100% correct genotype calls for all samples and reagent lots tested at 5, 15, and 50 ng/μL |
| Interfering Substance (Specificity) | No new interfering substances identified (based on prior studies) | More than 35,000 sample replicates tested across four studies (endogenous, exogenous, microbial, smoking), with no discordant or No Call results across 99 SNPs, for an accuracy of 100% when following instructions for use. |
| Labeling Comprehension | 90% or greater overall comprehension | Average comprehension rate for key concepts ranged from 90.7% to 96.1%, meeting the >90% criteria. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Accuracy (Method Comparison): Saliva samples were selected from the 23andMe customer biobank based on pre-determined BeadChip genotype and minimum volume required. The exact number of samples for the MUTYH variants specifically isn't explicitly stated, but the study compared against Sanger sequencing.
- Precision/Reproducibility: Confirmed genotype DNA samples (commercially available or from 23andMe biobank) for G3696 variants and Y179C common homozygous and heterozygous variants. The Y179C rare homozygous variant was excluded. The exact number of samples for this specific study is not provided, but it involved "multiple days, operator teams, instruments, and reagent lots at two independent laboratory sites."
- DNA Input: DNA samples obtained from commercial sources or 23andMe biobank based on listed genotypes. The exact number of samples for this study is not provided. The study involved diluting each sample to 3 different DNA concentrations and genotyping in a blinded fashion using 3 lots of reagents.
- Interfering Substance: "More than 35,000 sample replicates were tested" across various prior studies (DEN140044).
- Clinical Performance (Allele Frequencies): Frequencies are based on approximately:
- 872,000 individuals with European ancestry
- 47,500 individuals with African-American ancestry
- 38,500 individuals with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry
- 35,000 individuals with East Asian ancestry
- 123,500 individuals with Hispanic/Latino ancestry
- 10,000 individuals with South Asian ancestry
- Data Provenance: The document generally indicates the use of the 23andMe customer biobank for many of the analytical studies. For allele frequencies, it uses both the 23andMe Database and published literature (e.g., ExAc database, Poulsen and Bisgaard 2008). These would primarily be retrospective data sets from existing samples or databases.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications:
The document does not explicitly state the number of experts or their qualifications for establishing ground truth for the test set specifically.
- Accuracy (Method Comparison): Ground truth was established by Sanger bi-directional DNA sequencing, which is a laboratory gold standard method, not by human expert consensus or interpretation.
- Precision/Reproducibility: Ground truth was established by bi-directional Sanger sequencing for each sample.
- DNA Input: Ground truth was established by bi-directional Sanger sequencing for each sample.
- Labeling Comprehension: Human input was used to assess comprehension rates among typical users, but these are not "experts" establishing a clinical ground truth.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable, as the ground truth for analytical studies was primarily established by Sanger sequencing, a direct molecular method, rather than expert interpretation requiring adjudication.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The device (23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for MUTYH-Associated Polyposis) is a standalone genetic test for direct-to-consumer use. The studies performed focused on the analytical performance (accuracy, precision, DNA input, interfering substances) and labeling comprehension of the report itself, not on how human readers (e.g., clinicians) would improve their diagnostic accuracy with or without AI assistance. The report is intended to inform conversations with healthcare providers, not to be directly used for diagnosis or treatment decisions by those providers without confirmatory testing.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop) Performance:
Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The vast majority of the analytical performance studies (Method Comparison, Precision/Reproducibility, DNA Input, Interfering Substances) evaluate the performance of the "23andMe BeadChip assay" and the "PGS multiplex assay" as an automated genotyping process without human intervention in the result generation. The "Coregen software" analyzes the data to determine genotypes, which are then used to generate personalized reports. This represents the algorithm's standalone performance in genotyping.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
- Analytical Studies (Accuracy, Precision, DNA Input): Sanger bi-directional DNA sequencing was consistently used as the "truth" for genotype confirmation against which the BeadChip assay results were compared. This is considered a gold standard molecular method.
- Clinical Performance: Allele frequencies were derived from the 23andMe customer database and published scientific literature/databases (e.g., ExAc database, Poulsen and Bisgaard 2008). This is not a "ground truth" for individual cases, but rather statistical data based on large populations and research findings.
- Labeling Comprehension: Assessed by measuring user understanding of genetic health risk concepts, not by a clinical or pathological ground truth.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
The document does not provide information on the sample size used for the training set of the 23andMe PGS system or its Coregen software. The studies described are primarily analytical validation studies of the genotyping platform and the specific variants being reported. The "BeadChip" is a pre-designed array, and while software (Coregen) interprets the data, details about its specific "training" with a dataset are not available in this regulatory submission summary. The system itself (the PGS platform) was previously authorized, and this submission focuses on adding new variants.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
As the document does not detail a specific "training set" for the genotyping algorithm or system, there is no information on how its ground truth was established. The underlying technology (Illumina Infinium BeadChip, Illumina iScan, GenomeStudio software, and 23andMe's Coregen software) is a sophisticated genotyping workflow that would have been developed and validated by the manufacturers. For the specific variants (Y179C and G396D) being reported for MUTYH-Associated Polyposis, their clinical relevance and association with disease are based on established scientific literature and understanding of genetics, rather than a training dataset for the algorithm. The analytical studies confirm the assay's ability to accurately detect these variants, with Sanger sequencing acting as the ground truth for that detection capability.

5.4. Substantially Equivalent Predicate Device
{5}------------------------------------------------
The core components of the PGS are unchanged from the de novo authorization for the predicate device, the PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) (DEN170046), and also the additional de novo Authorizations of the PGS for Carrier Screening Tests for Bloom Syndrome (DEN140044) and PGS Genetic Health Risk Reports (DEN160026), including the saliva collection kit, the reagents and beadchip, the instrumentation, the software, the test processes and procedures. The novel components in this traditional 510(k) submission are only (a) the specific variants to be reported, and (b) the qualitative reporting of risk for MAP, as opposed to the BRCA related cancer risks included in DEN170046.
As described in Section 13, the 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) is a currently marketed device with reports for autosomal recessive carrier status, pursuant to DEN140044 (and related exemption), genetic health risk reports authorized as part of DEN160026 (and related exemption) and DEN170046, and features that are not considered part of the medical device (e.g. genetic ancestry and cosmetic traits such as eye or hair color).
The MAP report, scientific details, and FAQs were designed and developed in the same format as the predicate device, PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants), and conform to the submission agreements and special controls of the authorization (DEN170046). The MAP report is intended for over-the-counter, direct-to-consumer use without prescription or physician order. When a customer purchases the PGS with Health reports, the customer must first opt-in to receive carrier status and genetic health risk reports, including the Genetic Health Risk Report for MAP. Customers with positive results are advised to share their results with their healthcare provider. As instructed in predicate device authorization DEN170046. the same healthcare provider limitations are included in the package insert:
- . This test is not intended to diagnose a disease, determine medical treatment or other medical intervention, or tell the user anything about their current state of health.
- . This test is intended to provide users with their genetic information, which may inform health-related lifestyle decisions and conversations with their doctor or other healthcare professional.
- . Any diagnostic or treatment decisions must be based on confirmatory prescription testing and/or other information that you determine to be appropriate for your patient, such as additional clinical testing and other risk factors that may affect individual risk and health care.
Thus, the 23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for MAP is substantially equivalent to the predicate, 23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) authorized under DEN170046.
5.5 Device Description
The 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) is an over-the-counter (direct-to-consumer), DNA testing service that provides information and tools for consumers to learn about and explore their DNA.
{6}------------------------------------------------
The 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) is a currently marketed, non-invasive genetic information service that combines qualitative genotyping data covering genetic ancestry, traits, and certain heritable health conditions from a single multiplex assay with descriptive information derived from peer reviewed, published genetic research studies. It is a home use, over-thecounter (direct-to-consumer) DNA testing service intended to provide information and tools for consumers to learn about and explore their DNA.
Customer saliva is self-collected using the Oragene-Dx® Device manufactured by DNA Genotek, Inc. (previously cleared for carrier screening indications under K141410, and the same collection kit used to generate performance data for DEN140044, DEN160026 and DEN170046), which consists of a sealable collection tube containing a stabilizing buffer solution. Once the sample is collected, it is shipped to one of our Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratories for testing.
DNA is isolated from the saliva and tested in a multiplex assay using a customized genotyping beadchip, reagents and instrumentation manufactured by Illumina. The multiplex assay simultaneously tests for more than 500,000 variants, including those for the previously authorized indications, as well as for the indications proposed herein.
The raw data is generated using Illumina GenomeStudio software, and then sent to 23andMe. The data is then analyzed using the 23andMe's proprietary Coregen software, where a genotype is determined for each tested SNP. The results for certain of these SNPs are used to generate personalized reports for the customer that provide information about the detected genotype.
Personalized reports are generated for each user that provide results of the testing performed. These reports tell the user which variant(s) has/have been detected in their sample and provide information on the risk of disease associated with the variant(s). If no variant was detected, that information is also provided. The personalized reports are designed to present scientific concepts to users in an easy-to-understand format. The reports provide scientifically valid information about the risks associated with the presence of a particular variant. The reports are designed to help users understand the meaning of their results and any appropriate actions that may be taken based on their results.
The novel components in this traditional 510(k) submission are only (a) the variants to be reported, and (b) the qualitative reporting of risk for MAP.
Engineering drawings, schematics, etc. of the MAP report are not applicable to this device.
5.6 Technological Characteristics
Test Type: Qualitative genetic test for single nucleotide polymorphism detection. Sample Type: Genomic DNA obtained from a human saliva sample. Target of detection: Single-nucleotide polymorphism. DNA extraction: Automated and manual methods. Gene: MUTYH
{7}------------------------------------------------
Variants: Y179C and G396D variants in the MUTYH gene SNPs: rs34612342 and rs36053993
Genotyping principle: The DNA is fragmented and captured on a bead array by hybridization to immobilized SNP-specific primers, followed by extension with hapten-labeled nucleotides. The primers hybridize adjacent to the SNPs and are extended with a single nucleotide corresponding to the SNP allele. The incorporated hapten-modified nucleotides are detected by adding fluorescently labeled antibodies in several steps to amplify the signals. Data analysis is performed using scatter plots.
Instrument: Illumina iScan and GenomeStudio system.
Assay results: The genotype content is separated, and then integrated into predefined report templates specific for each condition associated with each genotype.

5.7 Performance Testing Summary
5.7.1 Method Comparison (Accuracy)
{10}------------------------------------------------
23andMe performed a Method Comparison study to assess the accuracy of the 23andMe BeadChip assay. The goal of the study was to show equivalent genotype assignment between the 23andMe BeadChip assay and Sanger bi-directional DNA sequencing. Saliva samples were selected from the 23andMe customer biobank, based on their pre-determined BeadChip genotype and minimum volume required for testing. All BeadChip genotyping was performed at an independent laboratory site. All chosen samples were then sequenced using Sanger bi-directional sequencing. Genotyping results were compared between BeadChip and sequencing to calculate positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent (NPA), with the sequencing results considered to be "truth." The passing criteria were a minimum of 99% PPA and NPA for each SNP. This method comparison study yielded >99% PPA and NPA for all genotypes. Therefore, the study passed the acceptance criteria of at least 99% PPA and NPA.
5.7.2 Precision/Reproducibility
23andMe performed a precision study to determine the reproducibility of the 23andMe BeadChip assay. This study included all G3696 variants, and Y179C common homozygous and heterozygous variants. The goal of the study was to evaluate the following precision parameters of the assay: intra-assay, inter-instrument, inter-operator, inter-day, and inter-lab differences. DNA samples were either commercially available samples that were available in the 23andMe biobank, and were further selected based on their confirmed genotypes. To confirm, each sample was sequenced by bi-directional Sanger sequencing. The same samples were genotyped by the BeadChip assay in a blinded fashion, with 3 lots of reagents, by multiple operator teams per day, using 3 different serial numbers of each of 2 instruments (Tecan and iScan), over 3 days, at each of 2 laboratory sites. BeadChip genotypes were compared with sequenced genotypes to determine the rates of correct BeadChip genotype calls.
This precision study yielded 100% correct genotype calls for all samples across multiple days, operator teams, instruments, and reagent lots at two independent laboratory sites. Therefore, the study passed the acceptance criteria of at least 99% correct calls at each of the two laboratory sites. There was no variation between any study conditions or any replicates for a given sample. Therefore, the study demonstrated 100% reproducibility and 100% repeatability for a given sample. Therefore, the study had 100% reproducibility and 100% repeatability.
5.7.3 DNA Input
23andMe performed a DNA input study for the 23andMe PGS multiplex assay. This study included all G3696 variants, and Y179C common homozygous and heterozygous variants. Due to the rarity of this sample type, the study excluded the Y179C rare homozygous variant.
The design of the study was consistent with our previous agreement recorded in Q160823-A001 meeting minutes dated August 9, 2016. The goal of the study was to confirm that the previously determined minimum concentration claim of 5ng/uL of DNA is necessary for successful assignment of the correct genotype using the 23andMe PGS assay. The DNA requirement for the PGS is defined as the lowest DNA concentration at which at least 95% of samples yielded the correct call. DNA samples were obtained from commercial sources or obtained from the 23andMe biobank based on their listed genotypes. Each sample was diluted to 3 different DNA
{11}------------------------------------------------
concentrations and genotyped in a blinded fashion using 3 lots of reagents. To confirm the genotype call, each sample was also sequenced using bi-directional Sanger sequencing. Genotype calls from the PGS assay were compared with sequenced genotypes to determine the rates of correct genotype calls at each DNA concentration.
This study yielded 100% correct genotype calls for all samples and all reagent lots tested at sample DNA concentrations of 5, 15, and 50 ng/μL. Therefore, the study passed the acceptance criteria of 95% correct calls at a sample DNA concentration of 5 ng/μL. This study demonstrates that the PGS tests are valid for samples with a DNA concentration range of 5 ng/yL. The performance requirement specified by contracted laboratory SOPs, is conservatively set at a minimum DNA requirement of 15 ng/μL.
5.7.4 Interfering Substance (Specificity)
The PGS requires the use of an FDA-cleared collection device (K141410). The device used for the test is the exact same device used for all carrier screening reports (DEN140044) and all genetic health risk reports (DEN160026 & DEN170046). A test for potentially interfering mutations was performed in support of DEN140044, and no new interfering substances have been identified. The cleared device includes instructions for use instructing the user to not eat, drink, smoke or chew gum for 30 minutes prior to collecting their saliva, thus minimizing the availability of interferents in the sample. 23andMe performed a series of studies to assess the effects of endogenous substances, exogenous substances, microbial substances, and smoking on the 23andMe PGS assay in support of submission DEN140044. Over these four studies, more than 35,000 sample replicates were tested, with no discordant or No Call results across 99 SNPs, for an accuracy of 100% when following the instructions for use (i.e., nothing by mouth for at least 30 minutes prior to collecting saliva).
5.7.5 Potentially Interfering Mutations
23andMe has identified three (3) potentially interfering mutations near Y179C, and four (4) potentially interfering mutations near G396D that are within the binding region of the probes for the variants of interest. The Company was unable to identify commercially available samples for these potentially interfering mutations, therefore has added a statement in the limitations section of the package insert stating that the impact of interfering mutations has not been evaluated.
5.7.6 Matrix Comparison
Human saliva is the only suitable sample matrix Comparison studies are not applicable.
5.7.7 Shelf Life
The PGS requires the use of the same FDA-cleared collection device that was reviewed and cleared in submission K141410. Shelf life data, summarized below, was previously reviewed and authorized in K141410, DEN140044, DEN160026, and DEN170046.
Pre-collection shelf-life conditions were evaluated by storing unused Oragene-Dx® devices at room temperature, 6°C ± 4°C or -20°C ± 5°C for up to 24 months. Devices were exposed to
{12}------------------------------------------------
multiple freeze/thaw cvcles of -20°C ± 5°C/50°C ± 5°C. In a separate study, devices were sent by standard mail to donors for collection and the donors mailed their samples directly to the processing laboratories. At all study time points a subset of devices were evaluated for physical and chemical properties to ensure the product specifications remained within acceptable tolerances. Another subset of devices was used to collect saliva from which DNA was extracted and analyzed for yield and A260/A280 ratio. The data supports shelf-life claims of room temperature storage for up to 24 months. Additionally, the devices may be transported by standard mail at temperatures ranging from -20℃ ± 5℃ to 50℃ ± 5℃.
Post-collection sample stability of the Oragene-Dx® device was evaluated by having 30 donors each self- collect saliva samples using Oragene-Dx® OGD-500. Samples were stored at room temperature, 6°C ± 4°C or -20°C ± 5°C for 12 months or at 50°C ± 5°C for 3 months. At all study time-points, DNA was extracted and analyzed for yield and A260/A280 ratio. Samples stored at room temperature were analyzed for microbial content using a real-time PCR-based assay. The data supports post-collection storage at -20°C to room temperature for up to 12 months and at 50°C ± 5°C for 3 months.
5.7.8 Clinical Performance
The clinical sensitivity and specificity are estimated based on published studies of variant frequencies in various populations and the results of analytical studies reported in this submission, as well as allele frequencies in the 23andMe customer base for the genetic variants and associations included in this submission.
The following table summarizes the clinical performance data for the PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for MAP.

5.7.9 Labeling Comprehension
The comprehension of key report concepts were determined to be the same as those identified and previously tested in the predicate device label comprehension study (DEN170046). The average comprehension rate per comprehension concept ranged from 90.7% to 96.1%, therefore the comprehension study met the predefined acceptance criteria of 90% or greater overall comprehension.
The representative Genetic Health Risk reports and supporting educational materials were effective in communicating relevant concepts to users unfamiliar with genetic testing sufficient for the safe use of the PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for MAP.
5.8. Discussion
The PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for MAP has a similar intended use as the predicate, is not technologically different than the predicate, and therefore presents no new issues of safety or effectiveness when compared to the previously authorized predicate device (DEN170046). Specifically, this submission for the PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for MAP provides analytical and clinical data demonstrating that the PGS Test generates an accurate result, and that the user can adequately interpret the result for both of the variants.
5.9. Conclusion
The PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for MAP is substantially equivalent to the predicate device DEN170046 (23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants), authorized March 6, 2018). As presented, the PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for MAP is a safe and effective consumer product that can safely and effectively assist and encourage women and men with positive results to engage in potentially life saving conversations with their healthcare provider.

§ 866.6090 Cancer predisposition risk assessment system.
(a)
Identification. A cancer predisposition risk assessment system is a qualitative in vitro molecular diagnostic system used for determining predisposition for cancer where the result of the test may lead to prophylactic screening, confirmatory procedures, or treatments that may incur morbidity or mortality to the patient. The test could help to inform conversations with a healthcare professional. This assessment system is for over-the-counter use. This device does not determine the person's overall risk of developing any types of cancer. This test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare provider for recommended screenings or appropriate follow-up and should not be used to determine any treatments.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) The labeling required under § 809.10 of this chapter and any pre-purchase page and test report generated, unless otherwise specified, must include:
