GENE MUTATION INTERPRETATION
MLH1 c.XXXXXX Heterozygous
High Cancer RiskThis patient has Lynch syndrome/Hereditary Non-Polyposis ColorectalCancer (HNPCC).
DETAILS ABOUT: MLH1 c.XXXXXX: XXXXXX; (aka: XXXXXX)
Functional Significance: Suspected Deleterious - Abnormal Protein Production and/or FunctionThe heterozygous germline MLH1 mutation c.XXXXXX is located 3 nucleotides upstream of exon X. This mutation has been shown to segregate with cancer (Loader S et al. Genetic Testing 2005, 9:313-319; Myriad internal data), and shows strong association with more severe personal and family history of cancer, typical for individuals with an HNPCC-associated deleterious mutation (Myriad internal data; Goldgar DE et al, Hum Mutat, 2008, 29:1265-1272; Easton DF et al, Am J Hum Genet, 2007, 81:873-883).
Clinical Significance: High Cancer RiskThis mutation has been shown to segregate with cancer (Loader S et al. Genetic Testing 2005, 9:313-319; Myriad internal data), and shows strong association with more severe personal and family history of cancer, typical for individuals with an HNPCC-associated deleterious mutation (Myriad internal data; Goldgar DE et al, Hum Mutat, 2008, 29:1265-1272; Easton DF et al, Am J Hum Genet, 2007, 81:873-883). This mutation is associated with increased cancer risk and should be regarded as clinically significant.
ADDITIONAL FINDINGS: NO VARIANT(S) OF UNCERTAIN SIGNIFICANCE (VUS) IDENTIFIED
Details About Non-Clinically Significant Variants: All individuals carry DNA changes (i.e., variants), and most variants do not increase anindividual's risk of cancer or other diseases. When identified, variants of uncertain significance (VUS) are reported. Likely benign variants (FavorPolymorphisms) and benign variants (Polymorphisms) are not reported and available data indicate that these variants most likely do not causeincreased cancer risk. Present evidence does not suggest that non-clinically significant variant findings be used to modify patient medicalmanagement beyond what is indicated by the personal and family history and any other clinically significant findings.
Variant Classification: Myriad's myVisionTM Variant Classification Program performs ongoing evaluations of variant classifications. In certaincases, healthcare providers may be contacted for more clinical information or to arrange family testing to aid in variant classification. When newevidence about a variant is identified and determined to result in clinical significance and management change, that information will automatically bemade available to the healthcare provider through an amended report.

A. Your Myriad myRisk® Hereditary Cancer result
summary is located on the first page of your report.
It will look similar to the example shown to the right.
If you received an POSITIVE myRisk Hereditary
Cancer result it means:
1. Your myRisk Genetic Result is POSITIVE. 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.
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 management decisions
should not be based on the VUS result.

Your test result may include three parts: your Genetic Test Result, your breast cancer riskScore®
(if applicable), and your Clinical History Analysis.
PART ONE:
1 Understanding a Positive Result
Genetic Test 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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONIndication for Testing: It is our understanding that this individual was identified fortesting due to a personal or family history suggestive of a hereditary predisposition forcancer.
Associated Cancer Risks and Clinical Management: Please see the "myRiskManagement Tool" associated with this report for a summary of cancer risk andprofessional society medical management guidelines that may be useful in developing aplan for this patient based on test results and reported personal/family history, ifapplicable. Testing of other family members may assist in the interpretation of thispatient's test result.
Analysis Description: The Technical Specifications summary (https://www.myriadpro.com/documents-and-forms/technical-specifications/) describes the analysis, method,performance, nomenclature, and interpretive criteria of this test. Current testingtechnologies are unable to definitively determine whether a variant is germline or somaticin origin, which may significantly impact risk estimates and medical management;therefore, these results should be correlated with this patient's personal and familyhistory. The interpretation of this test may also be impacted if the patient has ahematologic malignancy or an allogeneic bone marrow transplant.
GENES ANALYZED
Unless otherwise noted sequencing and largerearrangement analyses were performed on thefollowing genes:
APC, ATM, BARD1, BMPR1A, BRCA1, BRCA2,BRIP1, CDH1, CDK4, CDKN2A, CHEK2, EPCAM(large rearrangement only), MLH1, MSH2, MSH6,MUTYH, NBN, PALB2, PMS2, PTEN, RAD51C,RAD51D, SMAD4, STK11, TP53. Sequencing wasperformed for select regions of POLE and POLD1,and large rearrangement analysis was performed forselect regions of GREM1 (see technicalspecifications).
** Other genes not analyzed with this test may also beassociated with cancer.

BREAST CANCER RISKSCORE™ INTERPRETATION
The breast cancer riskScore™ provides an estimate of the remaining lifetime risk for breast cancer. A risk estimate greater than 20% is associated with specifi c modifi ed 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 modifi ed medical management based on other clinical factors or estimates from other breast cancer risk models, such as Tyrer-Cuzick, Claus, and Gail.
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 Specifi cations summary (https://www.myriadpro.com/documents-and-forms/technical-specifi cations/) describes the analysis, method, performance and interpretive criteria of this test. Data from 86 biomarkers are analyzed during NGS sequencing. The allele status of these markers is weighted and combined with patient clinical and family history data in the riskScore calculation. 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 signifi cantly affect the provided breast cancer risk estimates.

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.
G. Cancers Associated with a Positive myRisk Genetic Result. If you received a Positive myRisk® Genetic
Result, you will find a table of cancer risks specific to
your gene mutation on the first page of the myRisk
Management Tool below the genetic test result
summary information. An additional table may include
ranges of risks for these cancers as compared to the
general population (see J.)
Cancers on these tables 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®. riskScore is only
calculated for women under age 85, of solely White
/ Non-Hispanic and/or Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry,
without a personal history of breast cancer, LCIS,
hyperplasia, atypical hyperplasia, or a breast biopsy
with unknown results. 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.

WHAT MANAGEMENT FOR CANCER RISKS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED?This overview of clinical management guidelines is based on the patient's personal and family history and genetic test results. Medical managementguidelines are summarized from established medical societies, primarily the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). The reference citedshould 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 aTyrer-Cuzick risk estimate >20%, or multiple mutations in different genes), only the most aggressive management is shown. Only guidelines for thepatient'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 requiremodification due to the patient's personal medical history, past surgeries and other treatments. Patients with a past history of cancer, benign tumors, orpre-cancerous findings may be candidates for long term surveillance and risk-reduction strategies beyond what is necessary for the treatment of theirinitial 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 madein consultation between each patient and his or her healthcare provider.

REPORT EXAMPLE
myRisk Management ToolName: DOB:Pt Last Name, Pt First Name Aug 02, 1981 Accession #: Report Date: Aug 03, 2018
• Risk estimates based on provider-supplied information. Some of the risk estimates and management recommendation summaries provided inthis report are based on our interpretation of information supplied by the ordering health care provider on the test request form (seeSpecifications for Personal/Family History analysis at https://myriadpro.com/documents-and-forms/technical-specifications/). The patient'sactual risks and appropriate management may be significantly different if details provided for cancer diagnoses, ages, family relationships orother factors were incorrect, omitted, ambiguous or have since changed. Please review the clinical history listed on the Clinical & Family HistoryInformation page of this report to make sure that the information used was provided and interpreted correctly.
• Variability in Tyrer-Cuzick risk estimates. Tyrer-Cuzick estimates of breast cancer risk can vary significantly based on the way in which themodel is used, and the estimate provided here may be higher or lower than what would be calculated by other users. For complete details ofhow Myriad calculates Tyrer-Cuzick risk estimates, including how Myriad handles information provided in a format not compatible with themodel, please see the Specifications for Personal/Family History analysis at https://myriadpro.com/documents-and-forms/technical-specifications/). These Specifications also include information for recalculating the Tyrer-Cuzick breast cancer risk estimate if desired.
• What is meant by "High Risk" and "Elevated Risk"? In the Genetic Test Result Summary, a gene-associated cancer risk is described as "HighRisk" for a cancer type if all of the following conditions are met: the absolute risk of cancer is approximately 5% or higher, the increase in riskover the general population is approximately 3-fold or higher, and there is significant data from multiple studies supporting the cancer riskestimate. A gene is described as "Elevated Risk" for a cancer type if there is sufficient data to support an increase in cancer risk over thegeneral population risk, but not all criteria for "High Risk" are met.
INFORMATION FOR FAMILY MEMBERSFamily members should talk to their healthcare providers about hereditary cancer testing to help define their own risk and assist in the interpretation ofthis patient's genetic test result.
• This patient's relatives are at risk for carrying the same mutation(s) and associated cancer risks as this patient. Cancer risks for females andmales 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 sistershave the highest chance of having the same mutation(s) as this patient. Other more distant relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, andgrandparents also have a chance for carrying the same mutation(s). Testing of at-risk relatives can identify those family members with the samemutation(s) who may benefit from surveillance and early intervention. More resources for family testing are available at MySupport360.com.
• In rare instances, an individual may inherit mutations in both copies of the MLH1 gene, leading to the condition Constitutional Mismatch Repair-Deficiency syndrome (CMMR-D). Individuals with CMMR-D often have significant complications in childhood, including colorectal polyposis anda high risk for colorectal, small bowel, brain, and hematologic cancers. Individuals with CMMR-D often have café-au-lait spots. The children ofthis patient are at risk of inheriting CMMR-D only if the other parent is also a carrier of a MLH1 mutation. Screening the spouse/partner of thispatient for MLH1 mutations may be appropriate.
• Parents who are concerned about the possibility of passing on an MLH1 mutation to a future child may want to discuss options for prenataltesting and assisted reproduction techniques, such as pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).
• This patient has an estimated remaining lifetime risk of breast cancer at or above the 20% threshold based on the breast cancer riskScoreTM
estimate, which includes both genetic and non-genetic factors that may be shared within the family. Female relatives of this patient may also beat a significantly increased risk for breast cancer and should consult with a healthcare provider to discuss their own risk.

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 estimated to be
above average using 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.

Medical Management
Information for Family MembersPART THREE:3If you were found to have a genetic mutation, your relatives
may want to consider genetic testing.
K. 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.
Your healthcare provider will work with you to determine
the best medical management plan for you. Be sure to
contact your healthcare provider on a regular basis for
updated information.
