`Personalis Genome Services for Research
`
`• Currently focused on PGS v1 development
`– In total ~80 features/enhancements, ~370 tasks
`– PRD updated, Continuing Agile development process
`– Winning the VA project has required reprioritizing and resourcing expanded set
`of features for v1
`– Key differentiating features include: Exome+, accuracy, SV detection, analytics
`leveraging proprietary content, unique visualization and enhanced reporting
`– Improving overall system performance optimization to better achieve
`throughput requirements of VA project and other large projects
`– 4 new hires have allowed us to catch up to our staffing requirements
`• Engaging early customers/collaborators including Moyamoya for early
`revenue, feedback and testing of our prototype service
`• PGS v1 service on track to launch at AGBT conference Feb 2012, First
`VA genomes will be processed around the same time
`• Submitted 6 talks to AGBT to support the PGS launch
`– Topics focus on key differentiators including accuracy, SV detection, proprietary
`content, and “success stories” applying our technology

`
`
`Exome Plus
`Review of Key Goals & Milestones
`
`• Problems with standard exome sequencing
`– Typical exome sequencing misses a lot of exome (not fully targeted, low coverage
`on high GC regions, other problematic regions)
`– Lots of biomedically interpretable content missed on standard exomes (regulatory
`regions, disease relevant variants in intergenic regions, intronic var)
`• The Personalis Exome Plus aims to solve these issues by augmenting
`standard exomes with custom pullout data
`• Milestones
`– Defined and prioritized High-value (Interpretable) Content
`– Defined and prioritized Top Exome Problematic regions
`– Designed and Received Enrichment Probes/Kits from Agilent
`– Next Steps
`– Evaluate first kits, refine spec and reorder
`– Refine cost model
`• Anticipate that this will be launched in 2 phases:
`– Targeting the first release as part of the PGS v1 launch in Feb 2013.
`– More research intensive parts of Exome Plus will be part of a 2nd release in 2013.

`AMP Conference
`Takeaways Regarding Reimbursement of Clinical Dx
`
`• Annual conference attended by molecular pathologists
`• CPT coding changes to reduce code stacking for genetic tests
`• Key Private payer reimbursement criteria
`• Lee N. Newcomer, MD, MHA, SVP, UnitedHealthcare
`• Analytic validity
`• Clinical validity
`• Clinical utility
`• Medicare reimbursement excludes
`• Screening if no signs/symptoms
`• Risk assessment for patient or family member if no signs/symptoms
`• Diagnoses that are not actionable
`Implications for our clinical dx strategy
`• Focus on clinical dx asso with specific diseases/disease categories that are actionable
`(e.g. cardiomyopathy panels, heritable cancer, etc) and/or currently reimbursed will
`maximize chances of reimbursement. Focused interpretation on disease panels reflexing
`to whole exome or genome may be a way to do this.
`• Healthy people genetic screening (GIS) will have a harder time getting reimbursement in
`the short to medium term
`

`
`
`Risk
`
`• Aggressive timeline
`
`• Pipeline performance risk
`
`• Product Differentiation
`
`Risks and Mitigation
`
`Mitigation
`
`• Minimized “research” features that could result in product
`delay, focused on achievable, differentiated features for v1
`
`• Approximately 2 days to run 1 whole genome currently on a 40
`core machine
`• Prioritizing performance optimization, goal to reduce by 50%
`• Assess how we can address with more hardware, cloud
`
`• Prioritized differentiation in three key product areas: Exome+ ,
`SV’s, accuracy/quality, content, visualization
`• Giving conference talks at AGBT to discuss differentiation
`
`• Exome plus costs, may limit margins on product
`
`• Actively working on cost model and ways to reduce cost
`
`• New sequencing platforms antiquate our
`accuracy gains
`
`• Obtain data from orthogonal seq platforms and integrate as
`appropriate
`
`• Hiring of Unix sys admin and director of high
`performance computing.
`
`• Redoubled efforts with in-house recruiter to identify more
`leads
`
`• Long lead time content curation and content
`quality items for GIS and DVDS
`
`• Started dev on those items with long lead times to develop
`concurrently with Pipeline (MendelDB, etc)
`
`• Licensing of applications and content for analysis
`
`• Ethical use of Genomes for R&D
`
`• Systematically reviewing and applying for licenses for key
`content and algorithms
`
`• Ethics board approval for all Genomes used for R&D
`• Part of orientation training
