Wojcicki added that 23andMe would immediately be identifying independent directors to join the board. Wojcicki, who holds 49% of the voting power at 23andMe, was the only remaining board member listed on the company's website as of Thursday. A spokesperson had no further updates to share when reached by The Associated Press.

Shares for 23andMe have also plummeted — with the company's stock closing at 33 cents Thursday, down more than 97% since its 2021 stock market debut, according to FactSet. Beyond the resignations, 23andMe has made other a handful of other headlines in recent months — particularly around privacy concerns.
