8 EVOLVE POF FERTILITYREADY TM SCREEN POF: One of the Most Common Causes of Diminished Female Fertility Premature ovarian failure (POF) also known as primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a condition of low or poor reserve of oocytes relative to a given age. Evolve POF FertilityReady TM Screening is intended for any woman with features of POF or a family history of the condition. Features of POF Oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea Elevated levels of serum gonadotropins Low estradiol levels Many women with POF are either misdiagnosed or not diagnosed until their mid-30s when they experience difficulty conceiving a child. The Evolve POF FertilityReady TM Screen is the most comprehensive test specifically for the genetic causes of POF. Using NGS technology for Gene Sequencing + Deletion/Duplication Analysis with Accurate Fragile X FMR1 CGG Repeat Analysis.

It s a simple checkup at the genetic level that every couple should consider. Expanded Gene Panel of >200 genes with Sequencing + Deletion/Duplication Analysis Females only: Fragile X testing of FMR1 by CGG trinucleotide repeat expansion + optional reflex AGG interruption analysis for carriers of intermediate alleles and premutations with <100 CGG repeats Including Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMN1 copy HBA2 deletion/duplication analysis) number detection) & Alpha-Thalassemia (HBA1/ THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY FOR SEQUENCING + DELETION/ DUPLICATION ANALYSIS Del/Dup Analysis NGS EvolveGene Others* *Data as per recent marketing materials. Other refers to laboratories offering similar carrier screens. The Evolve FamilyReady TM Carrier Screen provides in-depth carrier screening with accurate data-proven results using NGS and PCR. Traditional carrier screening involves sequencing, only EvolveGene takes a critical 2nd step with deletion/duplication analysis that is missed by other methods, for the most complete carrier screening in the market. Impact of Genetic Disorders Evolve FamilyReady TM Carrier Screen is a comprehensive carrier screen for the most medically relevant genetic disorders that can significantly impact the health of an individual. The genetic disorders can be categorized into 3 groups, note genetic disorders can belong to one, two, or all three categories. Can be managed early in life and are treatable (e.g. PKU and Wilson Disease) Chronic and require lifelong management (e.g. Sickle Cell Anemia and Fragile X Syndrome) Life-threatening with no curative treatments (e.g. Cystic Fibrosis and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy)

11 Society Guidelines and Recommendations Evolve Carrier Genetic Screens are comprehensive tests that screen for relevant genetic disorders including both the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) recommended diseases for individuals of reproductive age or who are considering using donors in ART. ACOG recently released two updated Committee Opinions on carrier screening. Carrier Screening in the Age of Genomic Medicine (#690) stated ethnic-specific, panethnic, and expanded carrier screening are acceptable strategies for pre-pregnancy and prenatal carrier screening. Carrier Screening for Genetic Conditions (#691) states information about carrier screening should be provided to every pregnant woman. Research has shown that individuals, especially those undergoing fertility care, have used information from carrier screening to make a clinical decision regarding their reproductive health. X-Linked Inheritance: Female Parent When a female is a carrier for an X-linked disorder, if she has a daughter, there is a 50% chance she will be a carrier. If she has a son, there is a 50% chance he will be affected by the X-linked disorder. An example of an X-linked disorder is Hemophilia. Autosomal Recessive Inheritance: Both Parents Carriers If both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy for sons or daughters to be affected with the genetic disorder. An example of an autosomal recessive disorder is Spinal Muscular Atrophy. X-Linked Inheritance: Male Parent When a male is a carrier for an X-linked disorder, if he has a daughter, there is a 100% chance she will be a carrier. If he has a son, there is virtually a 0% chance he will be affected by the X-linked disorder. An example of an X-linked disorder is G6PD Deficiency.

13 Ethnicity Changes The Chance Of Being A Carrier Some genetic disorders are more common in certain populations. As the chart below demonstrates, your patient s ethnicity alone can put them at an increased risk of being a carrier of a severe recessive genetic disorder. Most people cannot state their ethnicities correctly. With that in mind, our Carrier Screens have been expertly developed to include the most relevant genetic disorders for all ethnic groups.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) issued a joint Practice Bulletin including Cell-free DNA screening or NIPT as part of the screening options for all pregnancies, to allow for patients to make an informed choice based on their values and goals. According to the bulletin, all pregnant women should be offered aneuploidy screening or diagnostic testing (with informed consent), regardless of maternal age or risk factors. It is also recommended that the option should be discussed with women who achieved IVF pregnancies following preimplantation genetic screening.
