1 Hereditary Cancer Genetic Testing Services The GeneDx Experience

2 GeneDx: Where Rare is Common In medical school there is a saying, When you hear hoofbeats, think horses not zebras. Think of common causes of the symptoms first, not the rare. When you encounter a zebra, think GeneDx. We specialize in diagnosing rare genetic disorders. From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders Sherri Bale and John Compton were working on identifying genetic causes for various rare disorders at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Families were requesting clinical diagnoses, but they could not provide that service through a research laboratory. Other commercial labs did not want to test for these disorders because of such low volume. To meet that need, Sherri and John decided to open a lab in the year 2000 to offer testing for these rare and ultra-rare disorders. Today, GeneDx provides genetic testing for hundreds of genetic disorders utilizing cutting-edge technologies and offers a broad array of special services such as: carrier screening, targeted testing, prenatal diagnosis, research testing, and exome and genome sequencing. Sherri and John have been recognized for their great work numerous times. Sherri is a member of various working groups with the American College of Medical Genetics, and works closely with the Association for Molecular Pathology in the projects related to genetic testing. 2000: Company founded with 10 tests 2007: Launched Array CGH 2011: Launched Neurology Panels and XomeDx 2013: Launched Hereditary Cancer Panels 2015: Acquired by OPKO Health 2006: Acquired by BRLI 2008: Launched Cardiology Panels 2015: Launched XomeDxXpress 2017: Launched GenomeSeqDx 1

6 Hereditary Breast and Gynecologic Cancer Testing Approximately 5-10% of all breast cancers, 25% of all ovarian cancers, and 5-10% of all endometrial cancers occur because a woman was born with a pathogenic variant in a gene that increased her risk to develop cancer. Identifying Patients at Risk for Hereditary Breast and Gynecologic Cancer Breast or endometrial cancer diagnosed under 50 years of age Multiple cancers in one person, either of the same origin (such as two separate breast cancers) or of different origins (such as breast and ovarian cancer or endometrial and colon cancer) Ovarian cancer or male breast cancer at any age Multiple relatives diagnosed with the same or related cancers (including breast, ovarian, endometrial, pancreatic and/or prostate) on the same side of the family and spanning multiple generations Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry with a history of breast, ovarian or pancreatic cancer A known pathogenic variant in a blood relative Exploring the Positive Results at GeneDx for Breast Cancer Pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants have been found in a number of genes in women with a personal history of breast cancer.

8 Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Testing Pathogenic variants in several genes have been associated with hereditary colorectal cancer, such as Lynch and other cancer syndromes. Individuals with pathogenic variants in these genes may develop colorectal cancer at young ages or may have an increased risk for multiple cancer diagnoses in a lifetime. Identifying Patients at Risk for Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Colorectal or endometrial cancer under 50 years of age Multiple cancers in one person, either of the same origin (such as two separate colon cancers) or of different origins (such as colorectal and endometrial cancer) Diagnosis of multiple colon polyps at any age Tumor testing which indicates an increased risk for Lynch syndrome Multiple relatives diagnosed with the same or related cancers (such as colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, urinary tract, gastric) on the same side of the family and spanning multiple generations A known pathogenic variant in a blood relative Exploring the Results at GeneDx for Colorectal Cancer Pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants have been found in a number of genes in patients with a personal history of colorectal cancer.

11 Testing with a Custom Panel OncoGeneDx Custom Panel The OncoGeneDx Custom Panel is a flexible testing option that allows providers to customize their test in order to meet the individual needs of their patient. Providers have the option to choose anywhere from a single gene test to a full 64 gene panel. Below is a list of available genes separated into their current risk category. High-Risk Genes Well-studied Greater than 4-fold risk of developing one or more cancers Can cause a moderate risk for other cancers National or expert opinion guidelines for screening and prevention are established Moderate-Risk Genes Well-studied Approximately 2- to 4-fold risk of developing one or more cancers May increase risk for other cancers Limited guidelines for screening and prevention Newer-Risk Genes Not as well-studied Precise lifetime risks and tumor spectrum not yet determined Guidelines for screening and prevention are limited or not available High-Risk Genes ALK, APC, BMPR1A, BRCA1, BRCA2, CDC73, CDH1, CDKN2A, EPCAM, FH, FLCN, MEN1, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, MUTYH, NF1, NF2, PALB2, PHOX2B, PMS2, PRKAR1A, PTCH1, PTEN, RB1, RET, SDHB, SDHD, SMAD4, STK11, TP53, TSC1, TSC2, VHL, WT1 Moderate-Risk Genes ATM, BRIP1, CHEK2, RAD51C, RAD51D Newer-Risk Genes AXIN2, BAP1, BARD1, CDK4, DICER1, FANCC, HOXB13, MAX, MET, MITF, NBN, NTHL1, POLD1, POLE, POT1, SCG5/GREM1, RECQL, SDHA, SDHAF2, SDHC, SMARCA4, SMARCB1, SUFU, TMEM127 10
