Pfizer To Help 23andMe Unravel Genetic Ties To Bowel Disease
Biotechnology News

Home genetics company 23andMe on Tuesday said it hopes to uncover gene mutations linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by enrolling 10,000 people with the hard-to-treat malady and examining DNA from their donated saliva samples. The privately held company, founded in 2006 by Anne Wojcicki and backed by Google Inc, said U.S. drugmaker Pfizer Inc will support its latest research effort. "We're hoping within a year or two to have some meaningful genetic data and that it might lead to either an improved therapy or a new therapy for IBD," said Catherine Afarian, a spokeswoman for 23andMe, which is based in Mountain View, California.

Pfizer, now saying its candidate COVID-19 vaccine is 95% effective, plans to start FDA approval process 'within days'. Results Pfizer and partner company BioNTech self-reported on Wednesday indicate the vaccine in development by the two companies has an efficacy rate of 95 percent. This comes on the heels of an announcement earlier this month that its shots were more than 90 percent effective. Drug company Moderna also has a candidate vaccine that is showing similar, self-reported results. The next hurdle is taking these potential vaccines to the Federal Drug Administration for further review. Ref. USAToday.
