The Google-backed company said Wednesday it will again offer 35 tests that tell users whether they carry ge- etic mutations for rare diseases like cystic fib rosis, which can be assed from parents to hildren.

The relaunch comes as the Silicon Valley company works to mend its relationship with the Food and Drug Administration and medical experts who have criticized its direct-to-con- sumer approach. FDA officials ordered 23andMe to stop selling its health- related tests in 2013, saying they required federal review. The agency signed off on the return- i ng tests earlier this year. EO Anne Wojcicki aid 23andMe submitted studies to the FDA showing that users can understand genetic test results without the aid of a doctor or health counselor. successfully established a framework for working with the FDA to bring back reports irectly to the Wojcicki said in an inter- iew.

continue work to try and bring a ll of this information The relaunch is a partial victory for the Mountain View, California- based company, but not a total comeback. The company still cannot offer more than 250 risk re- ports included in its original product, which purported to tell users whether they were likely to develop diseases such as and Those reports and thers related to drug re- a ctions remain unavail- a ble in the U.S. In February, 23andMe said it would resume selling certain health tests later this year. More than 1million people have used the saliva-based test kit, a small plastic tube that customers fill with pit and return to the company for processing. A bout 80percent of those ustomers have author ized the company to sell their data to drugmakers and academics for research purposes.

The current service mainly provides information about family history and ancestry, which is not regulated by the FDA. The company competes with the web- site Ancestry.com, which offers similar information based on DNA analysis. As part of the relaunch, 2 3andMe is highlighting a e-designed website that ffers customers new tools to understand their genetic code and compare it to family members. The website also provides links to speak with a genetic counselor about the results. New customers will pay more for the updated 2 3andMe experience.

The company will charge $199 er person, up from $99. We took a lot of the eedback that gotten over the last seven years and then incorporated that with all the FDA feedback into a whole new report Wojcicki said. The company plans TV and radio ads to promote the relaunch.

one of the great perations of the 20th yet good evidence of its effectiveness has been lacking, said Dr. Jeffrey Katz, a oint specialist at Brigham and Hospital in Boston. He wrote a commentary that appears with he results in New England Journal of Medicine, and said the right choice will be different for each patient, depending on goals, overall health, and whether the person ants to have or avoid surgery. ore than 670,000 total-knee replacements are performed annually in the United States, mostly for arthritis, which deteriorates cartilage in the joints. Medical experts advise trying other things before considering sur- ery, such as weight loss, hysical therapy, exercise and medicines, and many studies show these can help.

But for how long is not known, nor are here good comparisons of side effects. Soren Skou at Aalborg University Hospital Science and Innovation Cent er in Aalborg, Denmark, led the study. Researchers there assigned 100 patients to either 12 weeks of nonsurgical treatment therapy, exercise, diet advice, special insoles and pain medicine or surgery followed by 12 weeks of the other reatments. After one year, the surgery group improved twice as much as the others did on scores for pain, activities of daily living and quality of life. However, two-thirds of those not given surgery still had ameaningful improve- ent, and only one-fourth them ended up having surgery within the year.

Complications were more frequent with surgery, including several erious deep vein clots, a fracture and a deep infection. And other studies show that surgery not universally a nd that 1in 5 patients still have some pain six months later, Katz wrote.

Goodman at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. His advice: feel pushed or locked into a choice; get more than one opinion, and remember you can always choose surgery later if you try something else first. Consider how well you can handle the disruption of activity and rehabilitation needed after surgery, and how much help have. Get a clear estimate of what it will cost you..
