The 23andme gene test company favored by Finns is seeking corporate reorganization.
Earlier on Monday, it was reported that the American genetic test company 23andme would apply for corporate reorganization. The company aims to sell its entire business.
The company is one of the most generational gene test services used by Finns. It provides home -based genetic tests that provide information about their health and family history.
23andmen gene test has also been conducted by a Finnish expert in the industry Markus Perola.
He is a research professor at the National Institute for Health and Welfare and leads the Quantitative Genetics Research Group at the University of Helsinki. Perola is one of the most referenced researchers in their field.
Perola says he has done that company test for his job. He wanted to see how testing works.
“The fact that I was so aware of as a customer, too, shows that I do not see a terrible threat,” Perola says.
“I don’t lose my night’s sleep”
According to Perola, DNA information is sensitive in the sense that they also tell about the genome of a close relative. Still, he is not concerned about getting the information in the wrong hands.
“I don’t lose my night’s sleep because of this,” he says.
However, as the future of the 23andme company is uncertain, Perola intends to ask the company to destroy his information and sample. He recommends that other services used by the company to do the same.
This has also been recommended Many US law experts.
The destruction of the information should be successful as the company’s home country California obliges you to provide it with the opportunity. According to Perola, the opportunity has been found on the company’s website, at least so far.
