(Nasdaq: ME) (23andMe), a leading genetic health and biopharmaceutical company, today launched 23andMe+ Total Health, its new, comprehensive prevention-based health membership that provides clinical grade exome sequencing, biannual blood testing, and unprecedented access to genetics-based clinical care. Members of Total Health will also receive all the reports and features offered in the Company’s existing 23andMe+ Premium Membership. Total Health delivers on 23andMe’s mission to help people access, understand and benefit from the human genome. This membership is for individuals who want to augment their current healthcare experience with even more direct access to comprehensive genetic testing, blood biomarker testing, risk assessment in critical health areas, and personalized health plans driven by clinicians trained in genetics. Through the combination of critical health data, including comprehensive and personalized genetic information, blood biomarkers and personal and family medical history, clinicians with unique knowledge and training in genetics can provide risk assessments and help build a highly personalized and actionable preventive health plan. “We’re bringing the power of genetics into your personal healthcare journey, along with blood biomarkers, personal and family health history and lifestyle to help you understand the full picture of your disease risks,” said 23andMe’s Vice President of Genomic Health Noura Abul-Husn, M.D. Ph.D. “We’re also helping you understand what to do with this information through clinician consultations and ongoing access to medical professionals. We believe this type of comprehensive approach to prevention will lead to longer, healthier lives.” Total Health membership servicesExome sequencingThrough advanced exome sequencing, members will receive clinician-ordered genetic testing that looks deeper into high impact genes associated with 55+ health conditions that, if detected early, may have effective preventive measures and clinical interventions. This includes all genes considered medically actionable by the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) and under-diagnosed hereditary conditions related to cancer, cardiovascular, metabolic, kidney, neurological and other health conditions. Biannual blood testingWhile genetics offers insight into the future, blood testing gives insight into the now. Total Health members will get comprehensive blood tests for 55+ biomarkers, going beyond your routine labs. This includes measuring things like blood sugar levels, kidney, liver and thyroid function, along with cholesterol and advanced lipoprotein levels, which offer ongoing insight for prevention and early detection. Members will receive biannual testing, allowing them to track results and measure progress all within their 23andMe account through the Lab Results & Vitals feature. Blood testing is initiated by a clinician and members will complete their testing through a local lab offered by a third-party provider. Access to clinicians trained in geneticsTotal Health members will have access to clinicians with unique knowledge and training in genetics-based care, including an annual virtual consultation and ongoing direct messaging with healthcare professionals. Clinicians will review all blood biomarkers, genetic data and personal and family medical history to provide members with personalized risk assessments and help build a preventive health action plan tailored to each individual. Members are able to engage in an annual virtual clinician consultation, as well as have ongoing messaging conversations with clinicians about their reports, progress they are making, or to ask questions. 23andMe+ PremiumTM MembershipAs part of Total Health, members will gain access to all the premium reports and features delivered through 23andMe+ Premium. This includes: Our Health + Ancestry Service which includes FDA-authorized reports*Polygenic reports (powered by 23andMe research), which look at your genetic likelihood for more common conditions like high LDL cholesterol, asthma and anxietyPharmacogenetic reports, which help you understand how your genetics may impact how you process certain medications**Enhanced ancestry features Expanding CoverageHistorically, 23andMe has offered reports using genotyping technology, a powerful, efficient and accurate way to examine DNA variants at certain pre-identified positions in the genome. The specific positions analyzed are known to more commonly vary between individuals and span the entire genome. However, exome sequencing is an advanced, comprehensive genetic testing technology that involves reading every DNA letter in its correct order within a given piece of the genome. This provides individuals with a more complete picture, surfacing the majority of genetic variants known to be associated with disease risk. For example, we use genotyping for our BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) Genetic Health Risk report*, which looks at 44 variants within the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes associated with breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer. With exome sequencing, Total Health will include reports that look at all the thousands of variants within the coding region of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. We’ll also report on thousands of variants in many other genes associated with increased cancer risks. Our exome sequencing will go beyond cancer to also include clinical interpretations of high impact genes associated with other hereditary health conditions that, if detected early, may have effective prevention measures and clinical interventions. 23andMe+ Total Health offers members a fuller picture of their risk for disease, helping individuals navigate to a healthier future. Availability and EligibilityTotal Health will be available for those 18 and older in the United States (excluding Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma and Rhode Island). The 23andMe+ Total Health membership will cost $99 per month, billed in a one-time annual payment of $1,188. It will be offered to existing 23andMe customers as an upgrade in the spring of 2024. Important PGS Test Information*The 23andMe PGS test includes health predisposition and carrier status reports. Health predisposition reports include both reports that meet FDA requirements for genetic health risks and reports which are based on 23andMe research and have not been reviewed by the FDA. The test uses qualitative genotyping to detect select clinically relevant variants in the genomic DNA of adults from saliva for the purpose of reporting and interpreting genetic health risks and reporting carrier status. It is not intended to diagnose any disease. Your ethnicity may affect the relevance of each report and how your genetic health risk results are interpreted. Each genetic health risk report describes if a person has variants associated with a higher risk of developing a disease, but does not describe a person’s overall risk of developing the disease. The test is not intended to tell you anything about your current state of health, or to be used to make medical decisions, including whether or not you should take a medication, how much of a medication you should take, or determine any treatment. Our carrier status reports can be used to determine carrier status, but cannot determine if you have two copies of any genetic variant. These carrier reports are not intended to tell you anything about your risk for developing a disease in the future, the health of your fetus, or your newborn child's risk of developing a particular disease later in life. For certain conditions, we provide a single report that includes information on both carrier status and genetic health risk. Warnings & Limitations: The 23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) is indicated for reporting of 44 variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The report describes if a person's genetic result is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer and may be associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and potentially other cancers. The variants included in this report do not represent the majority of the BRCA1/BRCA2 variants in people of most ethnicities. This report does not include variants in other genes linked to hereditary cancers and the absence of variants included in this report does not rule out the presence of other genetic variants that may impact cancer risk. This report is for over-the-counter use by adults over the age of 18, and provides genetic information to inform discussions with a healthcare professional. The PGS test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare professional for recommended screenings or appropriate follow-up. Results should be confirmed by an independent genetic test prescribed by your own healthcare provider before taking any medical action. For important information and limitations regarding each genetic health risk and carrier status report, visit 23andme.com/test-info. **23andMe PGS Pharmacogenetics reports: The 23andMe test uses qualitative genotyping to detect 3 variants in the CYP2C19 gene, 2 variants in the DPYD gene and 1 variant in the SLCO1B1 gene in the genomic DNA of adults from saliva for the purpose of reporting and interpreting information about the processing of certain therapeutics to inform discussions with a healthcare professional. It does not describe if a person will or will not respond to a particular therapeutic. Our CYP2C19 Pharmacogenetics report provides certain information about variants associated with metabolism of some therapeutics and provides interpretive drug information regarding the potential effect of citalopram and clopidogrel therapy. Our SLCO1B1 Pharmacogenetics report provides certain information about variants associated with the processing of some therapeutics and provides interpretive drug information regarding the potential effect of simvastatin therapy. Our DPYD Pharmacogenetics report does not describe the association between detected variants and any specific therapeutic. Results for DPYD and certain CYP2C19 results should be confirmed by an independent genetic test prescribed by your own healthcare provider before taking any medical action. Warning: Test information should not be used to start, stop, or change any course of treatment and does not test for all possible variants that may affect metabolism or protein function. The PGS test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare professional. Making changes to your current regimen can lead to harmful side effects or reduced intended benefits of your medication, therefore consult with your healthcare professional before taking any medical action.

DUBLIN, July 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Market Insights, Epidemiology, and Forecast to 2032" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Market: In-Depth Analysis and Treatment Landscape Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts, images, or impulses causing anxiety, and repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing that anxiety. It follows a chronic course, often leading to years of suffering before seeking treatment. The DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for OCD remain largely unchanged from DSM-IV, with two specifiers added: insight and tic-related disorder. Market Overview: In 2022, there were approximately 12,082,000 total prevalent cases of OCD in the 7 major markets (7MM). Most diagnosed cases are severe, with 50% classified as severe, 35% as moderate, and 15% as mild. The United States accounted for the highest number of diagnosed cases in 2022, approximately 2,156,000 cases, and the OCD market size in the US was around USD 600 million. Treatment Landscape: Treatment for OCD involves building a therapeutic alliance, psychoeducation, and utilizing psychological and/or pharmacological approaches. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most commonly prescribed medications for OCD, with drugs like sertraline, fluoxetine, and fluvoxamine being popular choices. Emerging Therapies: Troriluzole, developed by Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, is a promising drug in the OCD treatment landscape. It is a glutamate-release inhibitor and has shown encouraging results in clinical trials. If successful, troriluzole is expected to bring major changes in the OCD treatment landscape, offering safer and more effective options. Market Outlook: The total market size of OCD in the 7MM is projected to increase at a CAGR of ~5%, reaching approximately USD 1,000 million by 2032. The growth is driven by an increase in the prevalent pool of the disease and the launch of new therapies. Key Highlights: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has been given increased attention in DSM-5, receiving its chapter. However, the diagnostic criteria for OCD in DSM-5 remain largely the same as in DSM-IV, requiring either obsessions or compulsions. The major change in the DSM-5 criteria for OCD is the addition of two specifiers for this diagnosis: insight and tic-related disorder. OCD symptoms may be present for years before treatment is sought, and those affected often suffer in silence. The disease follows a chronic waxing and waning course where 15% of patients have deterioration, and 5% have episodes with inter-episode recovery. The diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is established by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria, while the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) is used for the assessment of its severity. In 2022, there were ~12,082,000 total prevalent cases of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in the 7MM. Most of the diagnosed cases of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) are severe, with around 15%, 35%, and 50% of individuals having mild, moderate, and severe OCD, respectively. The United States accounted for the highest number of diagnosed cases of OCD in the 7MM, i.e., ~2,156,000 cases in 2022. In 2022, the market size of OCD was the highest in the US among the 7MM, accounting for approximately USD 600 million. Treatment of OCD comprises several components, starting with building a therapeutic alliance with the patient and psychoeducation. Then psychological and/or pharmacological approaches, and, for patients with treatment-resistant OCD, neuromodulation, and neurosurgery. The NICE guidelines propose CBT as the treatment of choice for OCD and body dysmorphic disorder due to the rigorous research invested into CBT for OCD and the effectiveness of treatment. The expected launch of troriluzole (Biohaven Pharmaceuticals) by 2027 is set to bring major changes in the treatment landscape of OCD, bringing in safer and more effective treatment options for OCD patients. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most popular form of treatment for OCD, which works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Some widely used medications for the treatment of OCD are citalopram (CELEXA, CIPRAMIL), escitalopram (CIPRALEX, LEXAPRO), fluoxetine (PROZAC), fluvoxamine (FAVERIN, LUVOX), paroxetine (PAXIL, SEROXAT), sertraline (LUSTRAL, ZOLOFT). If these medications fail to work, a non-selective SRI may be prescribed. However, because it affects neurotransmitters in the brain other than just serotonin, there are more side effects, and therefore it is usually not a first-choice medication for treating OCD. The non-selective SRI most commonly used for treating OCD is clomipramine (ANAFRANIL). The generic alternatives of the approved marketed assets for OCD, such as sertraline hydrochloride, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, clomipramine, etc., entered the market from 1996-2006.
