Helix Takes 527K-Participant Genomic Screening Data to ASHG Plenary
San Mateo – October 19, 2026 -- Helix will present three-year outcomes from CDC Tier 1 genomic screening of 527,000 participants at the opening plenary of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2026 Annual Meeting, held October 20-24 in Montreal. The company says its GenoSphereTM resource now holds more than 620,000 paired EHR, claims and genomics records.
Helix Research Network supplies the plenary data from 17 health systems
The plenary study draws on the Helix Research Network (HRN), which Helix describes as the world's largest precision health network. All 17 member health systems offer CDC Tier 1 primary screening to every patient who enrolls in research. The study examines how surfacing previously undiagnosed genetic risk can improve screening and preventive care across diverse health systems.
Cassie Hajek, MD, Medical Director, will deliver the talk on Tuesday, October 20, from 5:57 to 6:15 p.m. ET in Room 517.
