COLARIS Test Offerings
COLARIS Test Offerings COLARIS: Full sequence MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 Large rearrangement testing for MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2 and EPCAM Note: The PMS2 gene will be reported in the same result packet, but on a separate page COLARIS Update: PMS2 sequencing and large rearrangement testing for PMS2, MSH6 and EPCAM COLARIS Tailored Testing: Specific genes in preferred combinations
COLARIS Test Offerings Single gene testing is available Able to perform single gene analysis for MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2 and EPCAM Write in the requested gene on the Gene Specific line of the test order form
COLARIS Reflex Testing Reflex testing available Can order multiple single gene reflex orders based on IHC on the Gene Specific line Ex: Can order MSH2 Analysis with reflex to MSH6 Analysis for patient with loss of MSH2 and MSH6 on IHC testing Can order concurrent or reflex testing to other tests (ex: COLARIS AP) by writing in the specific request on the Other line
PMS2 Test Development and Validation
PMS2 Gene Overview Analysis of PMS2 is complicated by the presence of pseudogenes that may interfere with standard genomic sequencing. All but 4 of 15 exons in the gene have regions of sequence homology elsewhere in the genome.
PMS2 Test Development Myriad s PMS2 sequencing assay includes multiple control pathways to ensure an accurate test result. The assay controls for: incidental amplification of pseudogenes rather than the PMS2 coding sequence allelic drop out gene conversion sample contamination PMS2 large rearrangement testing will be performed using MLPA technology
PMS2 Test Validation PMS2 assay validated for clinical use on a set of more than 300 samples Set included known positives and known negatives for PMS2 sequence variants and large rearrangements. PMS2 assay validated for both blood and buccal samples
PMS2 Laboratory Process Automated laboratory testing platform and data analysis system leads to Consistently short turnaround time High level of quality control Low rate of sample re-draw Confirmation of all positive results
COLARIS Test Methodology
Test Methodology: Sequencing Full sequencing of: MLH1 MSH2 MSH6 PMS2 Sequencing is performed in forward and reverse directions of all exons 20 base pairs proximal to the 5 end 10 base pairs distal to the 3 end of each exon
Testing Methodology: CART Quantitative multiplex PCR assay developed by Myriad to detect large rearrangements in MLH1 and MSH2 Primers span promoters and coding exons of MLH1/MSH2 Each exon contains two target amplicons for redundancy and increased accuracy Each rearrangement is confirmed Automated, computerized analysis Fully validated and clinically available since May 2008
Testing Methodology: MLPA Multiplex Ligation dependant Probe Amplification Myriad will use MLPA to report LR in PMS2, MSH6, and EPCAM PMS2: due to potential for pseudogene interference, exons 3, 4 and 12-15 not analyzed for LR EPCAM: testing will include the 3 UTR MLPA run as a confirmatory test for MLH1 and MSH2

COLARIS Variant Classification Program
Variant Classification Program (VCP) Program includes variants in MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, EPCAM and PMS2 For individuals tested for COLARIS over past year, the uncertain variant rate was 7.8% and the favor polymorphism rate was 1.3% For more information about our VCP please contact Medical Services at 800-469-7423 or email helpmed@myriad.com
