In 2013, well-known movie star Angelina Jolie received a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy to make the susceptibility gene test famous among ordinary people, and the influx was from tens of thousands of dollars directly to several hundred yuan. Gene sequencing products, is this product reliable?
“Affected by Internet genetic products, prices have dropped significantly in 2015, which is a big trend.†Chen Yingjie, a product manager of Da’an Gene Mass Gene Products, said that he is happy and worried about the status quo: “People are more and more accessible to genetic products. However, there is still insufficient regulation in the countries of susceptible genes, and we are worried that the emerging products will lead to market confusion."
Going to civilians
100 years ago, humans discovered genes. In humans, about 3 billion base pairs, the current genetic testing is accurate for those diseases controlled by single genes, such as thalassemia, hemophilia, red-green blindness, etc. The rate is extremely high, close to 100%, and more than 7,000 genetic diseases with a single locus have been discovered, and diseases capable of genetic diagnosis are increasing at a rate of 10 to 50 per year. This new approach is laying the groundwork for future precision medicine .
This kind of field that has never been "higher" is now moving towards civilians. Recently, Daan Gene has launched a genetic testing product that sells only 580 yuan, so that the price directly falls below 1,000 yuan. So far, genetic testing has come down from the altar. Take the 23 Rubik's Cube as an example. A standard test kit containing 4 genetic tumors, 88 health risks and 38 physical characteristics is priced at 999 yuan. 360 gene prevents breast cancer. The project price is 1370 yuan.
"In the past, it was a project of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. In 2015, the price dropped significantly." Chen Yingjie said that the future genetic testing will be considered reasonable within 10,000 yuan.
In fact, with the popularity of second-generation gene detection technology, genetic testing price reduction has been a nail on the board, because compared with the first-generation gene sequencing, the second-generation gene sequencing efficiency has been greatly improved (100,000 times improvement), and the cost of sequencing has also been greatly reduced. . Therefore, this trend does not only occur in China. According to a McKinsey study, the price of human genome-wide sequencing is expected to fall below $500 (currently around $1,000) in the next few years.
Moreover, this market is huge. According to Markets & Markets report, the global market for second-generation gene sequencing in 2014 reached $2.5 billion, and is expected to reach $8.7 billion in 2020, with a compound growth rate of 23%. BCC predicts that sequencing services are the fastest growing sub-segment in the sequencing market, from $1 billion in 2011 to $3.5 billion in 2016, a compound growth rate of 29%.
According to the report of Minsheng Securities, if the cancer genetic test in the future can be like a regular physical examination, there will be a market of 100 billion.
The worry of accuracy
How to choose the genetic testing products that are getting closer and closer?
“Currently in the Chinese market, consumers have little ability to judge these different genetic testing technologies.†For the huge market, Chen Yingjie expressed concern because different genetic technologies have a direct relationship with the accuracy of data support and detection. I usually make a fuss about these two aspects.
