1 OncoGeneDx: Pediatric Tumor Panel Test Information Sheet Panel Gene List: ALK, APC, CDC73, DICER1, EPCAM*, MEN1, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, NF1, NF2, PHOX2B*, PMS2, PRK1A, PTCH1, PTEN, RB1, RET*, SMCA4, SMCB1, STK11, SUFU, TP53, TSC1, TSC2, VHL, WT1 *Testing includes sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis for all genes except EPCAM (del/dup only), PHOX2B (seq only) and RET (seq only). Clinical Features: Approximately 1 in 285 children and adolescents will be diagnosed with cancer before age 20 which represents 1% of all new cancer diagnoses in the United States (ACS, 2014). While the majority of pediatric cancers and other are sporadic in nature, 5-10% of pediatric cancer cases are thought to be due to a hereditary predisposition (Zhang 2015). The proportion of cases due to hereditary predisposition varies considerably between cancer types (Zhang 2015, Plon 2005). In addition, certain benign tumors or other clinical features may also be suggestive of hereditary cancer predisposition. The features of a personal and/or family history of cancer that are suggestive of a hereditary cancer predisposition include: early age at diagnosis, multiple primary cancers in a single individual, rare cancers or tumors, and multiple relatives affected with the same type of cancer or related cancers spanning multiple generations. For some of the well-described hereditary conditions discussed below, clinical diagnostic criteria based on personal medical history and family history are available to help identify patients most likely to have a hereditary cancer. In many cases, however, patients do not meet the clinical diagnostic criteria or the criteria may overlap for multiple conditions, making it difficult to decide which genes should be tested and in what order. The OncoGeneDx Pediatric Tumor Panel offered at GeneDx includes analysis of 27 genes associated with hereditary predisposition s including Carney Complex (PRK1A) and other PRK1A-related disorders, Constitutional Mismatch Repair Deficiency (EPCAM, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2), Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (APC), Gorlin /Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma (PTCH1), Heritable Retinoblastoma (RB1), hereditary neuroblastic tumor susceptibility (ALK, PHOX2B), Hyperparathyroidism-jaw Tumor (HPT-JT) and other CDC73-related disorders (CDC73), Li-Fraumeni (TP53), Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and 2A/2B (RET), Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and 2 (NF2), Peutz-Jeghers (STK11), PTEN hamartoma tumor / Cowden (PTEN), Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC1, TSC2), Von-Hippel Lindau disease (VHL) and WT1-related disorders (WT1). Newer genes that have been identified in association with pediatric onset have also been included in the panel. These genes include DICER1, SMCA4, SMCB1 and SUFU. Accurate risk assessment may be complicated by small numbers of patients, low penetrance Page 1 of 7, Updated: Dec-16

2 of pathogenic variants in these genes and/or ascertainment bias. Since the cancer risks are not yet well defined, no consensus guidelines for medical management are available for these genes. Inheritance Pattern: All of the genes on this panel are associated with autosomal dominant inheritance with the exception of Constitutional Mismatch Repair Deficiency (CMMR-D) which is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Test Methods: Genomic DNA from the submitted specimen was enriched for the complete coding region and splice site junctions of the genes on the panel using a proprietary targeted capture system developed by GeneDx. The products were sequenced on either an Illumina MiSeq or HiSeq instrument with 2x150 or 2x100 paired-end reads, respectively. The sequence was aligned to reference sequences based on human genome build GRCh37/UCSC hg19. Capillary sequencing was used to confirm all variants with clinical or uncertain significance and to analyze regions with inadequate coverage by Next Generation sequencing. If present, apparently homozygous variants were confirmed using alternate primer pairs to significantly reduce the possibility of allele drop-out. Concurrent deletion/duplication testing was performed for all relevant genes on the panel using either exon-level array CGH or MLPA. Confirmation of copy number changes was performed by MLPA, qpcr, or repeat acgh analysis. Data analysis was performed using gene-specific filtering. The array was designed to detect most single-exon deletions and duplications. For PHOX2B and RET, only sequencing was performed. In addition, polyalanine repeats for the commonly expanded region in exon 3 of PHOX2B are not resolved. For EPCAM, deletion/duplication analysis, but not sequencing, was performed. For PTEN, nucleotides c.-700 through c in the promoter region are also sequenced. Array CGH alterations were reported according to the International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature (ISCN) guidelines. All sequence alterations are described according to the Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) nomenclature guidelines. Benign and likely benign variants, if present, are not reported but are available upon request. Test Sensitivity: The clinical sensitivity of sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis of the 27 genes included in the OncoGeneDx Pediatric Tumor Panel depends in part on the patient s clinical phenotype and family history. In general, the sensitivity is highest for individuals with features suggestive of hereditary predisposition to cancer as outlined above. DNA sequencing will detect nucleotide substitutions and small insertions and deletions, while array CGH will detect exonlevel deletions and duplications. These methods are expected to be greater than 99% sensitive in detecting pathogenic variants identifiable by sequencing or array CGH. The likelihood of a false positive result is expected to be <1%. Sensitivity for NF2 is limited by somatic Page 2 of 7, Updated: Dec-16

3 mosaicism; therefore, testing of tumor tissue may be considered after a negative result in an apparently de novo patient with a high clinical suspicion of NF2. Technical Limitations: Neither sequencing nor exon-level acgh can reliably detect mosaicism, and cannot detect chromosomal aberrations. Deletions involving more than 20bp and insertions involving more than 10bp are not reliably detected by the sequencing methodology, and deletions or duplications of less than 250bp are not reliably detected by array CGH. Regions of certain genes have inherent sequence properties that yield suboptimal data, potentially impairing accuracy of the results. For instance, sequence and deletion/duplication analysis of PMS2 and NF1, among others, is complicated by the presence of pseudogenes or homologous sequences that involve multiple exons of this gene. In the absence of mrna/cdna studies, we cannot completely exclude the possibility of undetectable clinically significant variants in certain regions of these genes. False negatives may also occur in the setting of bone marrow transplantation, recent blood transfusion, or suboptimal DNA quality. In individuals with active leukemia or lymphoma or with known chronic myeloid or lymphoid (such as low grade MDS, CML, ET, P. vera, PMF, CLL), there is a possibility that testing of specimens containing leukocytes may detect an acquired somatic variant, resulting in a false positive result. In this situation, please contact one of our genetic counselors to discuss the utility of submitting an alternate specimen. Additionally, rare false negatives may occur when testing for a specific variant identified at a laboratory other than GeneDx if a positive control is not provided. Based on the specific array design and technology used, the reported coordinates of duplications and deletions at the exon or gene level can slightly differ among family members tested but, in general, relatives are expected to have the same copy number variant. The ability to detect genetic variants and naming conventions can differ among laboratories.
