What Allele does
The report, translated
Allele gives a plain-language reading of your genetic or tumor sequencing report, with the scientists' words explained. Terms like variant, heterozygous and uncertain significance are explained where they appear in yours.
Read beside your records
Your report is read with your lab results, diagnoses and medicines, which Triangle requests through Carequality and TEFCA. Both live in one current history.
Ask about a variant, anytime
A chat that knows both your report and your records takes your questions, and a second check reviews each reply against the evidence. Ask about one variant or the whole report.
Shared when you choose
Family members or a doctor can see your profile if you share it. You decide who views and who helps manage it.
What makes Allele different
Your report, with your records
A genetic-testing company's own report, such as one from 23andMe, explains your DNA results without your medical records. Allele reads your report next to your blood tests, diagnoses and medicines.
Reports from many sources
Add genetic reports from consumer DNA tests or clinical labs, and tumor sequencing reports, as PDFs or photos. They're read in the same place as everything else.
No lab pays Triangle
Triangle takes no money from laboratories, drug makers or hospitals, only from members. That matters more when the data is your DNA.
Who uses Allele
- People with a consumer DNA test report they don't fully understand
- People with results from a clinical genetic test
- People with cancer who have a tumor sequencing report
- People who want to bring better questions about a variant to their doctor or a genetic counselor
The team behind Allele
Reading a report closely is how Triangle started: in 2023, facing a brain tumor, Arun Verma went through his own records and the research line by line, by hand. Triangle (Triangle Health, Inc.) came next, co-founded by Arun with Jonathan Grubb and Justin Balthrop and led by him as CEO from Pasadena, California; it makes Allele, with Dr. Santosh Kesari, a neuro-oncologist, as medical advisor since the start. Allele brings that close reading to anyone holding a DNA report they want to understand.

Frequently asked questions
Is Allele a DNA testing company?
No. Allele doesn't run DNA tests; it reads a DNA or sequencing report you already have, alongside your medical records, and explains both. Your Allele account sits with Triangle, the company that makes it.
What does it cost to have Allele read my report?
Allele costs $9 a month once its 7-day free trial is over. A card is required up front, and cancelling is possible any time.
Will Allele interpret my results the way a doctor or genetic counselor would?
No. Your clinicians, and a genetic counselor if you see one, decide what a finding means for you. Allele sticks to research and educational support from Triangle, and diagnosing, treating and prescribing are left out.
Could ChatGPT, Claude or Grok read my genetic report too?
Yes. Give your assistant https://app.trianglehealth.com/mcp to connect over MCP, then pick what it may read, genetic reports included. trianglehealth.com/agents has the guides.
How is a genetic report protected in Allele?
Triangle handles your report like the rest of your records, as a HIPAA compliant company, with encryption in transit and at rest. Nobody buys your genetic data from Triangle or uses it for ads, and no one sees your profile unless you let them.
Will Allele tell me my risk of a disease?
No. Allele explains what your report says and how it sits next to your records, and helps you prepare questions. Advice on what a finding means for you comes from your doctor or a genetic counselor.
Will Allele tell me whether my relatives should be tested?
That's a question for your doctor or a genetic counselor. Allele can help you put it in words and bring the relevant results with you.
Do I need my medical records too?
No, you can begin with the report alone. It's more useful beside your records, which Triangle requests for you through Carequality and TEFCA, and records from clinics the networks don't reach can be uploaded.
