Intended Use

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 for the purpose of reporting and interpreting genetic health risks, including the 23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for Hereditary Prostate Cancer (HOXB13-Related). The 23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for Hereditary Prostate Cancer (HOXB13- Related) is indicated for reporting of the G84E variant in the HOXB13 gene. The report describes if a person has the G84E variant and if a male is at increased risk for prostate cancer. The variant included in this report is most common in people of European descent. 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 for diagnosis, to determine any treatments or medical interventions.

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.

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, DEN170046, K182784, DEN180028, and K193492, 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, and off the shelf 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.

Raw data is generated using Illumina GenomeStudio software, and then sent to 23andMe. The data is then analyzed using 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 genetic health risk variant(s) have been detected in their sample and provide information about the 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 modified components of the Personal Genome Service included in this 510(k) submission are new labeling to include (a) one new variant to be reported, and (b) the qualitative reporting of one's Genetic Health Risk for Hereditary Prostate Cancer (HOXB13-Related).

Engineering drawings, schematics, etc. of Genetic Health Risk Report for Hereditary Prostate Cancer (HOXB13-Related) are not applicable to this device.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the acceptance criteria and study proving the device meets these criteria for the 23andMe PGS Genetic Risk Report for Hereditary Prostate Cancer (HOXB13-Related).

Here's the breakdown of the information requested:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Performance MetricAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Method Comparison (Accuracy)≥99% PPA and NPA for each SNP>99% PPA and NPA for all genotypes. Study passed the criteria.
Precision / Reproducibility≥99% correct calls100% correct genotype calls. 100% reproducibility and repeatability.
DNA Input (Lowest Concentration)≥95% correct calls at 5 ng/µL100% correct genotype calls at 5, 15, and 50 ng/µL. Study passed.
Interfering Substance (Specificity)100% accuracy when following IFU100% accuracy when following instructions for use.
Labeling Comprehension≥90% overall comprehensionAverage comprehension rate ranged from 90.7% to 96.1%. Study met criteria.

2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Accuracy/Method Comparison Study:
    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number, but "Saliva samples were selected from the 23andMe customer biobank, based on their predetermined genotype and minimum volume required for testing." This implies a varied sample size based on the availability of specific genotypes.
    • Data Provenance: From the "23andMe customer biobank" and "approved contract laboratory sites." The origin of the customers is not specified beyond "23andMe customer" which is a US-based company, suggesting primarily US data. The study was retrospective, using pre-existing samples from the biobank.
  • Precision Study:
    • Sample Size: "DNA samples were selected based on their confirmed genotypes, and were obtained from the 23andMe biobank." Not an explicit number.
    • Data Provenance: From the "23andMe biobank." Implies primarily US data, retrospective.
  • DNA Input Study:
    • Sample Size: "DNA samples were obtained from the 23andMe biobank based on their listed genotypes." Not an explicit number.
    • Data Provenance: From the "23andMe biobank." Implies primarily US data, retrospective.
  • Interfering Substance Study (referenced from DEN140044):
    • Sample Size: Over 35,000 sample replicates.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated for this particular study, but given it's for a US regulatory submission by a US company, it's highly likely to be US data, retrospective.
  • Labeling Comprehension Study (referenced from DEN160026):
    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but also likely US data.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

  • Ground Truth Method: For the analytical studies (Method Comparison, Precision, DNA Input), the ground truth for genotyping was established by bi-directional Sanger sequencing.
  • Number/Qualifications of Experts: The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts involved in performing or interpreting the Sanger sequencing results to establish the "truth." It only states that sequencing was performed "by an approved supplier" and that the sequencing results were "considered to be 'truth.'"

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none)

  • The document does not describe any human adjudication method for establishing the ground truth from Sanger sequencing. It implies that the sequencing results themselves were directly taken as ground truth without further expert consensus or adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • No MRMC or comparative effectiveness study involving human readers (e.g., radiologists) with or without AI assistance was performed or described. This device is a direct-to-consumer genetic test, not an imaging-based AI diagnostic tool.
  • The closest concept is the "Labeling Comprehension" study, which assesses how well consumers understand the report. It indicates that the report and educational materials were effective in communicating relevant concepts for safe use. This is a measure of user comprehension, not human reader improvement with AI assistance.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Yes, the performance studies (Accuracy, Precision, DNA Input, Interfering Substance) represent a standalone evaluation of the genotyping assay, which is essentially the "algorithm" or technical process of the device. The accuracy and precision figures are "algorithm only" performance metrics, as they compare the device's genotype calls directly against Sanger sequencing as the ground truth.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • For the analytical performance studies (Accuracy, Precision, DNA Input), the ground truth for specific genetic variants (genotype) was established by bi-directional Sanger sequencing.
  • For the clinical performance, the document refers to "published studies of variant frequencies in various populations and the results of analytical studies" and "allele frequencies in the 23andMe customer database." This relies on established scientific literature and aggregated anonymized real-world data rather than individual outcomes or pathology reports.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document primarily describes validation studies (test sets) for the analytical performance of the device. It does not provide information about a separate "training set" sample size for developing the genotyping assay or the underlying "Coregen software." The genotyping method described relies on physical beadchip arrays and established principles of DNA analysis, not on a machine learning model that would typically have a distinct training phase with a dedicated dataset.
  • The "Customer biobank" is used for selecting samples for the performance studies, which may implicitly reflect data used in the development or refinement of their overall genotyping process, but it's not explicitly defined as a separate 'training set' for an AI model.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • As mentioned above, the document does not elaborate on a distinct "training set" with established ground truth in the context of an AI/ML model for this genetic test. The "Coregen software" analyzes raw data from the beadchip, and its accuracy is validated against Sanger sequencing. The development process of this proprietary software, and any data used to "train" it (if it involves statistical modeling beyond simple rule-based interpretation of genotyping signals), is not detailed in terms of ground truth establishment.

5.8. PERFORMANCE TESTING SUMMARY

All performance testing is managed by our ISO 13485:2016 certified Quality Management System, and conforms to design control requirements specified in 21CFR §820.30.

Analytical and Comprehension studies were performed and documented as described in Special Controls published in reclassification order DEN170046.

Software Verification and Validation studies were performed and documented as described in Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices issued on 11Mav2005. 23andMe employs a variety of administrative, technical, and physical safequards in order to efficiently mitigate cybersecurity risks. 23andMe has been certified for compliance with ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Information Security Management System, including control implementation guidance within ISO/IEC 27018:2019 as well as the requirements and control implementation quidance within ISO/IEC 27701:2019 as a data controller. 23andMe is also actively implementing the controls and policies as defined in the "HITRUST CSF" (Common Security Framework), which includes the FDA recommended NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CsF).

5.8.1 Method Comparison (Accuracy)

23andMe performed a Method Comparison study to assess the accuracy of the 23andMe assay. The goal of the study was to show equivalent genotype assignment between the 23andMe assay and Sanger bi-directional DNA sequencing. Saliva samples were selected from the 23andMe customer biobank, based on their predetermined genotype and minimum volume required for testing. All assay genotyping was performed at approved contract laboratory sites. All chosen samples were then sequenced using Sanger bi-directional sequencing by an approved supplier. Genotyping results were compared between genotyping assay and bi-directional sequencing to calculate positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (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.

5.8.2 Precision / Reproducibility

23andMe performed a precision study to determine the reproducibility of the 23andMe assay. The goal of the study was to evaluate the following precision parameters of the assay: intra-assay, inter-lot, inter-instrument, inter-operator, inter-day, and inter-lab differences. DNA samples were selected based on their confirmed genotypes, and were obtained from the 23andMe biobank. To confirm, each sample was sequenced by bi-directional Sanger sequencing. The same samples were genotyped by the 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. Assay genotypes were compared with sequenced genotypes to determine the rates of correct genotype calls.

{14}------------------------------------------------

This precision study vielded 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.

5.8.3 DNA Input

23andMe performed a DNA input study for the genotyping assay. 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 determine the lowest concentration of DNA that is necessary for successful assignment of the correct genotype. 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 the 23andMe biobank based on their listed genotypes. Each sample was diluted to 3 different DNA 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 results were compared with sequenced genotypes to determine the rates of correct genotype calls at each DNA concentration.

This study vielded 100% correct genotype calls for all samples and all reagent lots tested at sample DNA concentrations of 5, 15, and 50 ng/uL. 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 assay can correctly genotype samples with a DNA concentration range of 5 ng/ul_to 50 ng/µL. The performance requirement specified by contracted laboratory SOPs is conservatively set at a minimum DNA requirement of 15 ng/μL.

5.8.4 Interfering Substance (Specificity)

The PGS assay 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 labeling in the form of a package insert instructing the user to not eat, drink, smoke or chew gum for 30 minutes prior to collecting their saliva, thus minimizing the availability of potentially interfering substances in the saliva sample. 23andMe performed a series of studies to assess the effects of endogenous substances, exogenous substances, microbial substances, and smoking on the 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).

5.8.5 Potentially Interfering Mutations

23andMe has identified one(1) potentially interfering mutation near G84E. The Company was unable to identify commercially available samples for these potentially interfering mutations.

{15}------------------------------------------------

Therefore, a statement has been added to the limitations section of the package insert stating that the impact of interfering mutations has not been evaluated.

5.8.6 Matrix Comparison:

Human saliva is the only suitable sample matrix Comparison studies are not applicable.

5.8.7 Shelf life:

The PGS requires the use of the same FDA-cleared collection device and reagents that have been previously reviewed and authorized in K141410 and DEN140044.

5.8.8 Clinical Performance:

Clinical performance is 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 database 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 Hereditary Prostate Cancer (HOXB13-Related).

5.8.9 Labeling Comprehension

The key report message concepts for the Hereditary Prostate Cancer (HOXB13-Related) test were reviewed and determined to be the same as those identified and previously tested in the Genetic Health Risk device label comprehension study (DEN160026), which was determined suitable for the predicate devices (DEN170046 and K182784). 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 content 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 Hereditary Prostate Cancer (HOXB13-Related).

5.9. DISCUSSION

The PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for Hereditary Prostate Cancer (HOXB13-Related) has a similar intended use as the predicate devices, is not technologically different than the predicate devices, and therefore presents no new issues of safety or effectiveness when compared to the previously authorized predicate devices (DEN170046, K182784). Specifically, this submission for the PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for Hereditary Prostate Cancer (HOXB13-Related) includes analytical and clinical data demonstrating that the assay generates accurate results which the user can appropriately interpret.

5.10. CONCLUSION

The PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for Hereditary Prostate Cancer (HOXB13-Related) is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices DEN170046 (23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants), authorized March 6, 2018) and K182784 (23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for MUTYH Associated Polyposis cleared on January 18, 2019). As presented, the PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for Hereditary Prostate Cancer (HOXB13-Related) 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:
