If your initial assessment indicates further evaluation is worthwhile, subscribe to unlock full clinical review, ongoing monitoring, and genetic counselor consultation.
A genetic counselor reviews your case
Within 3-5 business days, a board-certified genetic counselor reviews your family history patterns against established clinical guidelines and prepares your personalized summary.
You have your annual consultation
30-60 minute video call with your genetic counselor. Discuss your assessment in plain English. Ask any question. Plan next steps with someone who actually knows your case.
Testing, if clinically indicated
If your family history pattern indicates testing is worth considering, we coordinate it — included in your subscription. Note: most subscribers don’t meet criteria for testing, and a negative result does not mean low risk. Family history alone can establish elevated risk worth monitoring.
Ongoing monitoring is the difference
Your risk changes. Family history evolves, new diagnoses appear, clinical guidelines update. Even if you don't need genetic testing, your picture keeps developing — and Helix Reserve keeps watch.
OUR METHODOLOGY
How we know what your risk actually is
Helix Reserve's risk assessment is grounded in established clinical guidelines from leading medical societies. Every assessment is reviewed by a board-certified genetic counselor before it reaches you.
7+
Clinical guidelines we apply
Amsterdam II Criteria for Lynch syndrome, Chompret Criteria for Li-Fraumeni, BOADICEA risk model for breast cancer, ACMG variant classification standards, NSGC consensus statements, and other publicly-available frameworks established by the medical societies whose guidelines define hereditary cancer risk.
100%
Reviewed by a licensed clinician
Every assessment is reviewed by a board-certified genetic counselor, certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling (ABGC). No AI replaces clinical judgment.
Quarterly
Re-assessment cadence
Your family history evolves. New diagnoses appear. We capture changes through quarterly check-ins and re-run your risk evaluation as your picture develops.
Monthly
Guideline monitoring
Our system monitors publicly-available cancer risk guidelines from leading medical societies. When guidelines change in ways that affect your assessment, your genetic counselor reaches out with a refreshed evaluation.
Helix Reserve does not diagnose disease or recommend medical procedures. We are a decision-support service. Clinical care decisions remain between you and your treating physicians. See our Terms.

Why one-time isn't enough
Family history changes
A cousin gets diagnosed at 42. A sibling tests positive for a variant. Family history evolves, and each change can shift surveillance recommendations. Helix Reserve captures the picture as it develops.
Clinical guidelines evolve
The criteria for hereditary cancer risk are revised as evidence emerges. When guidelines change in ways that affect your assessment, we reach out with a refreshed evaluation — at no extra cost.
A negative test isn’t the end of the story
Most hereditary cancer risk lives in family history patterns that current panels don’t detect. Subscribers with negative tests often have the most to gain from ongoing monitoring.
Most people never get this
Genetic counselors are scarce. Most primary care physicians don’t track family history over years. Insurance rarely covers annual genetic counseling without an active concern. High-quality hereditary cancer risk management shouldn’t require a crisis to access.
Cancer risk management today is disjointed, expensive, and reactive. Helix Reserve is none of those things. One transparent price. One ongoing relationship. One picture that gets clearer over time.
