Walgreens to hold off selling genetic testing kits
The largest US drugstore chain, Walgreen Co., says it is holding off selling genetic testing kits at its stores after the Food and Drug Administration raised concerns with the kits' manufacturer.
23andMe, a company founded in 2006 to bring genetic testing to the masses, this week lowered the price of its home DNA-testing kit from $299 to $99, co-founder Anne Wojcicki wrote in an official company blog post on December 11.
