"We are excited about this unique collaboration as we know that drug targets with genetic validation have a significantly higher chance of ultimately demonstrating benefit for patients and becoming medicines," Hal Barron, GSK's Chief Scientific Officer and president R&D, said in a statement.
23andMe said it already has a portfolio of "early stage" research programmes, which both companies will look to include in the collaboration.
The first project will be a treatment for Parkinson's disease, which currently is in preclinical development. 80 percent of 23andMe's customers have consented to participate in research, and the company said customers are always in control of their information.
"This collaboration will enable us to deliver on what many customers have been asking for -- cures or treatments for diseases," CEO of 23andMe, Anne Wojcicki, added in a statement.
As noted by Reuters, GSK is not the first drug giant to look at modern genetic data, with rivals Roche and AstraZeneca doing the same.
