OTTAWA, June 10 (Reuters) - The Canadian and British
privacy authorities have launched a joint probe into a data
breach at genetics testing company 23andme last year, Canada's
privacy commissioner said in a statement on Monday.
    Last October, 23andMe told some customers of a breach into
the "DNA Relatives" feature that allowed them to compare
ancestry information with users worldwide.
