1 Understanding Your Positive Result A guide to understanding your risk and taking action

2 2017 Myriad Genetics, Inc. 320 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City, Utah PH: FX: PART ONE: Understanding Your Result Your test result may include three parts: your Genetic Test Result, your breast cancer riskscore (if applicable), and your Clinical History Analysis. Genetic Test Result A. Your Myriad myrisk Hereditary Cancer result summary is shown on the first page of your report. 1. Your myrisk Genetic Result is POSITIVE. This means that you tested positive for a mutation in one or more genes. One or more of your genes that were passed down through your family is altered, or carries a genetic mutation, which increases your risk for one or more hereditary cancers. This mutation(s) is considered CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT and changes to your medical management may be appropriate. 2. Your result may contain a breast cancer riskscore. If the riskscore was performed, details will be provided on the following page of your Genetic Test Result (see E.) 3. Your result will contain a Clinical History Analysis. This analysis was based on personal clinical risk factors and the cancer family history you reported to your provider. If the analysis identified any modified medical management, an orange asterisk will appear. A summary of medical management recommendations based on leading medical society guidelines will be provided in the myrisk Management Tool section of your report. A B C Myriad myrisk Hereditary Cancer Test myrisk Genetic Result RECEIVING HEALTHCARE PROVIDER Physician Name, MD Myriad Healthcare Partners 320 Wakara Way Salt Lake City, UT ORDERING PHYSICIAN: Physician Name, MD SPECIMEN Specimen Type: Buccal Draw Date: Aug 15, 2017 Accession Date: Aug 30, 2017 Report Date: Sept 4, 2017 GENE MUTATION INTERPRETATION MLH1 MYRISK GENETIC RESULT: POSITIVE clinically significant mutation identified c.133del (p.thr45glnfs*5) Heterozygous DETAILS ABOUT: MLH1 c.133del (p.thr45glnfs*5): NM_ ; AKA: 133delA ADDITIONAL FINDINGS: NO VARIANT(S) OF UNCERTAIN SIGNIFICANCE (VUS) IDENTIFIED PATIENT Name: Case Study 4 Date of Birth: Jan 1, 1980 Patient ID: 0000 Gender: Female Accession #: Requisition #: BREAST CANCER RISKSCORE : REMAINING LIFETIME RISK 23.6% This level of risk is at or above 20% threshold for consideration of modified medical managament. See riskscore Interpretation Section for more information. CLINICAL HISTORY ANALYSIS: NO MODIFIED MEDICAL MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES WERE IDENTIFIED BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED. Other clinical factors may influence individualized management. This analysis may be incomplete if details about cancer diagnoses, ages, family relationships or other factors were omitted or ambiguous. HIGH CANCER RISK This patient has Lynch syndrome, Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer (HNPCC). Functional Significance: Deleterious Abnormal Protein Production and/or Function The heterozygous germline MLH1 mutation c.133del is predicted to result in the premature truncation of the MLH1 protein at amino acid position 49 (p.thr45glnfs*5). Clinical Significance: High Cancer Risk This mutation is associated with increased cancer risk and should be regarded as clinically significant. Details About Non-Clinically Significant Variants: All individuals carry DNA changes (i.e., variants), and most variants do not increase an individual s risk of cancer or other diseases. When identified, variants of uncertain significance (VUS) are reported. Likely benign variants (Favor Polymorphisms) and benign variants (Polymorphisms) are not reported and available data indicate that these variants most likely do not cause increased cancer risk. Present evidence does not suggest that non-clinically significant variant findings be used to modify patient medical management beyond what is indicated by the personal and family history and any other clinically significant findings. Variant Classification: Myriad s myvision Variant Classification Program performs ongoing evaluations of variant classifications. In certain cases, healthcare providers may be contacted for more clinical information or to arrange family testing to aid in variant classification. When new evidence about a variant is identified and determined to result in clinical significance and management change, that information will automatically be made available to the healthcare provider through an amended report. myrisk Genetic Result: Page 1 of 3 B. Your report provides you with detailed information about your specific gene mutation and your increased risk for associated cancers. With this information, you and your healthcare provider can develop a medical management plan that is right for you. C. In addition to your positive result, your testing may have found one or more Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS). A VUS is not currently known to be associated with an increased cancer risk. Myriad has made a lifetime commitment to understanding the nature of these variants. If new evidence about a variant is identified, that information will be made available to your healthcare provider who will then contact you with updated information. It is important to understand that medical interventions should not be based on the VUS result. Positive result with SINGLE SITE testing: If a member of your family has tested positive for a mutation, your provider may have ordered testing for only that mutation to see if you carry it. This is known as single site testing. If you get a positive single site test result, you DO carry the mutation that is in your family and should discuss relevant changes to your medical management with your healthcare provider. Because single site testing does not look for other mutations or assess risk from family history, there are limitations to the information. Positive results on single site tests will include a myrisk Management Tool that is specific ONLY to your gene mutation.

E. If the riskscore was performed, this page of your Genetic Test Result will contain details of the analysis. This page displays an estimate of your remaining lifetime risk for breast cancer as well as your risk over the next five years. You can compare your risk to the general population using the graph provided. If the analysis identified any modified medical management based on your riskscore, an orange asterisk will appear next to your score. A summary of medical management recommendations based on leading medical society guidelines will be provided in the myrisk Management Tool section of your report.

A risk estimate greater than 20% is associated with specific modified medical recommendations, including consideration of more aggressive breast cancer screening and additional risk reduction measures. If applicable, details of these recommendations are provided in the accompanying myrisk Medical Management Tool or other supplemental material. Women with a risk estimate below 20% may still be appropriate for consideration of modified medical management based on other clinical factors or estimates from other breast cancer risk models, such as Tyrer-Cuzick, Claus, and Gail. F. The Clinical and Cancer Family History Information Page displays the information regarding your clinical history and personal and cancer family history you reported. BREAST CANCER RISKSCORE ANALYSIS DESCRIPTION The breast cancer riskscore provides 5-year and remaining lifetime breast cancer risks, based on an analysis of genetic markers combined with patient clinical and family history data. The Technical Specifications summary ( describes the analysis, method, performance and interpretive criteria of this test. In some cases, due to biological or technical limitations, analyses of all biomarkers may not be performed. It is unlikely that data from the un-analyzed markers would have a large impact on breast cancer risk estimates provided. /86 markers were analyzed for this patient. Clinical and family history data used for this analysis is shown in the Clinical and Cancer Family History Information section of this report. The accuracy of this information can significantly affect the provided breast cancer risk estimates.

4 2017 Myriad Genetics, Inc. 320 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City, Utah PH: FX: PART TWO: Understanding Your Risk Your future risk of cancer is influenced by your Genetic Test Result, your personal clinical history and your family history of cancer. The myrisk Management Tool provides a summary of your future risks based on your genetic result and the information provided to Myriad, but additional risk factors should be discussed with your provider. myrisk Management Tool G. Cancers Associated with your positive myrisk Genetic Result. The top section of this report indicates that your genetic result is: POSITIVE. For cancer risks related to your myrisk Genetic Result, you will find a table of specific cancer risks based on your gene mutation. This table may include ranges of risks for these cancers as compared to the general population (see J.) Myriad myrisk Hereditary Cancer Test myrisk Management Tool RECEIVING HEALTHCARE PROVIDER SPECIMEN Physician Name, MD Specimen Type: Buccal Myriad Healthcare Partners Draw Date: Aug 15, Wakara Way Accession Date: Aug 30, 2017 Salt Lake City, UT Report Date: Sept 4, 2017 ORDERING PHYSICIAN: Physician Name, MD GENETIC TEST RESULTS SUMMARY INFORMATION MYRISK GENETIC RESULT: POSITIVE clinically significant mutation identified PATIENT Name: Case Study 4 Date of Birth: Jan 1, 1980 Patient ID: 0000 Gender: Female Accession #: Requisition #: Cancers on this table may be in red or orange. Red indicates that the increase in risk is significantly more than the general population. Orange indicates that the risk is elevated and there may not be an exact percentage known at this time. H. You may receive a riskscore. A riskscore is only calculated for women under age 85, of soley European ancestry, and without a personal history of breast cancer, LCIS or atypical hyperplasia. This score is calculated using both genetic and non-genetic factors that may be shared within your family. It is important to note that if your genetic mutation has an increase in risk for breast cancer, then your breast cancer risk will be defined only by your myrisk Genetic Result. However if your gene mutation is not known to carry a risk for breast cancer, then your healthcare provider may use riskscore to understand your risk for breast cancer. If your riskscore is calculated to be 20% or higher, modified medical management recommendations will be summarized later in the report. I. If you are a woman who has never been diagnosed with breast cancer and have no relatives with a known genetic mutation you will also receive a Tyrer-Cuzick Risk Calculation. Tyrer-Cuzick is a model used to predict a woman s risk of developing breast cancer which was developed by leading researchers. Tyrer- Cuzick takes into consideration your family history of cancer and other personal clinical risk factors. If your Tyrer-Cuzick Risk Calculation is 20% or higher, modified medical management recommendations will be summarized later in the report. H I GENE MLH1 BREAST CANCER RISKSCORE at or above 20% BREAST CANCER RISKSCORE : REMAINING LIFETIME RISK 23.6% This level of risk is at or above 20% threshold for consideration of modified medical managament. See riskscore Interpretation Section for more information. CLINICAL HISTORY ANALYSIS: NO MODIFIED MEDICAL MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES WERE IDENTIFIED BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED. Other clinical factors may influence individualized management.

5 Family members should talk to their healthcare providers about hereditary cancer testing to help define their own risk and assist in the interpretation of this patient s genetic test results. This patient s relatives are at risk for carrying the same mutation(s) and associated cancer risks as this patient. Cancer risks for females and males who have this/these mutation(s) are provided below. Family members should talk to a healthcare provider about genetic testing. Close relatives such as parents, children, brothers, and sisters have the highest chance of having the same mutation(s) as this patient. Other more distant relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents also have a chance for carrying the same mutation(s). Testing of at-risk relatives can identify those family members with the same mutation(s) who may benefit from surveillance and early intervention. More resources for family testing are available at MySupport360.com. This patient has an estimated remaining lifetime risk of breast cancer greater than 20% based on riskscore, which includes both genetic and non-genetic factors that may be shared within the family. Female relatives of this patient may also be at a significantly increased risk for breast cancer and should consult with a healthcare provider to discuss their own risk.

This overview of clinical management guidelines is based on the patient s personal and family history and genetic test results. Medical management guidelines are summarized from established medical societies, primarily the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). The reference cited should always be consulted for more details. If management for a specific cancer (e.g. breast) is available due to multiple causes (e.g. a mutation and a Tyrer-Cuzick risk estimate >20%, or multiple mutations in different genes), only the most aggressive management is shown. Only guidelines for the patient s long-term care related to cancer prevention are included. No information is provided related to treatment of a previous or existing cancer or polyps. The recommendation summaries below may require modification due to the patient s personal medical history, past surgeries and other treatments. Patients with a past history of cancer, benign tumors, or pre-cancerous findings may be candidates for long term surveillance and risk-reduction strategies beyond what is necessary for the treatment of their initial diagnosis. Any discussion of medical management options is for general information purposes only and does not constitute a recommendation. While genetic testing and medical society recommendations provide important and useful information, medical management decisions should be made in consultation between each patient and his or her healthcare provider. FREQUENCY PROCEDURE AGE TO BEGIN (Unless otherwise RELATED TO indicated by fi ndings) SEBACEOUS NEOPLASMS Currently there are no specific medical management NA NA MLH1 guidelines for sebaceous neoplasm risk.

The myrisk Medical Management Tool provides a summary of management recommendations from leading medical societies that you and your healthcare provider may consider. In general, changes to your cancer risk management can take four possible directions: 1. You may be screened more often and perhaps with different or additional tests than you have had previously. 2. It might also be recommended that you take medications (known as risk-reducing agents) to reduce your risk. 3. There may be surgical steps to discuss. 4. You may discuss lifestyle changes with your provider. HEPATOBILIARY TRACT Currently there are no specific medical management guidelines for hepatobiliary cancer risk PANCREATIC Consider available options for pancreatic cancer screening, including the possibility of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and MRI/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). It is recommended that patients who are candidates for pancreatic cancer screening be managed by a multidisciplinary team with experience in the screening for pancreatic cancer, preferably within research protocols. 2 NA NA MLH1 Individualized NA MLH1 Your healthcare provider will work with you to determine the best medical management plan for you.

It is important to share information about your test results with your family. They may want to talk with a healthcare provider about how this affects them and the possibility of genetic testing. The Medical Management Tool shows risk levels associated with your gene mutation for family members. If your risk of breast cancer was identified as above average using the riskscore, your female relatives may also be at an increased risk for breast cancer. Your relatives may want to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss their possible risk. myrisk Medical Management INFORMATION FOR FAMILY MEMBERS CANCER RISK FOR MLH1 CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT MUTATION END OF MYRISK MANAGEMENT TOOL.
