#InTheNews: The Healthy Nevada Project, spearheaded by Joseph Grzymski, is casting a transformative light on the genetic risk stratification associated with breast cancer. Partnering with Helix's Alexandre Bolze, this seminal study analyzed the genetic data of over 25,000 women, employing the capabilities of Helix's Exome+ assay, to uncover that individuals with a lower genetic risk of breast cancer may be able to safely postpone mammogram screenings, beyond the usual recommended age. 

Discovering your low-risk status through genetics can not only streamline healthcare resource utilization but also substantially ease the anxiety often linked with regular cancer screenings. Additionally, this nuanced approach could encourage wider engagement in genetic screening initiatives, as the opportunity to learn your low risk status may appeal to more individuals, allowing us to increase the number of people taking a more knowledgeable and proactive stance towards their healthcare.

"Population-level genetic screening inherently marries family medical history without having to rely on the incredibly complicated dynamics of family structure," Grzymski said. "There are countless examples of folks who don't know who their parents are, who don't talk about health, or who don't talk about why or how family members died. Genetics cuts through all of that, so it's a sharper scalpel for assessing family risk."

Helix takes immense pride in leading this pioneering research, showcasing our dedication to merging genomics with healthcare.

#InTheNews: U.S. News & World Report spoke with head of infectious diseases, Shishi Luo about the winter COVID-19 wave and vaccination rates. 

Luo says Helix’s data shows the benefits of COVID-19 vaccines are the greatest among older populations and that future vaccine campaigns might be more targeted to that age group.

“What seems like a likely scenario is that booster campaigns would primarily focus on older adults … and then for the rest of the population, it may not be as high a priority to get boosted every year,” Luo says.
