Complete Medication SolutionWhat's the big deal?
Adverse reactions to prescription medications are killing 120,000 people a year in the U.S. alone. More
than 2 million serious injuries are the direct result of the wrong drugs being taken by the wrong people.
These adverse medical events increase hospital stays by three to seven days each--increasing the cost
to the healthcare system and resulting in lost employee work days. These cost the US economy more
than $130 billion every year. Furthermore, the FDA has said that only about half of the drugs we take
are effective in treatment.
Coriell GeneDose™, GeneDose LIVE and SafeTRx are designed to address healthcare's triple aim
concerns of improving care, improving population health, and reducing medical costs per capita.
Coriell partners with laboratories like Personalized Genetic Testing, Inc to bring these tools to patients,
providers and healthcare systems.
GeneDose™
GeneDose™ leverages the scientific data and pharmacogenomic expertise of the 62 year old Coriell
Institute for Medical Research. The GeneDose™ Genetic Response Report provides physicians with
straightforward recommendations that they can understand - changes in dosages, suggested
medications by therapeutic class, and risk warnings. Gone are the days of trying to translate genotypes
into clinically useful information; no more trial and error medication management before seeing
patient improvement.
The GeneDose technical system is available for use anywhere as a secured, cloud hosted infrastructure.
After Personalized Genetic Testing, Inc generates appropriate sequencing/genotyping data from a
patient sample, a GeneDose report can be created in seconds by invoking the well documented
GeneDose Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
Page 3 CONFIDENTIAL
GeneDose LIVE
GeneDose™ LIVE merges more than a dozen precision prescription decision vectors and builds on the
genetic insight in the GeneDose™ Genetic Response Report provides. In real-time, the visuals in the
application display a holistic summary of which drugs present the highest degree of risk for that
patient. GeneDose LIVE provides physicians with a tool to model alternative choices and assess the
treatment plan to find the scenario that presents the least amount of risk, while still accomplishing the
intended therapy. The power lies in the ease in which alternative medication regimens can be vetted, in
real-time, before being tried in the patient.
Doctors ordering the GeneDose lab test from Personalized Genetic Testing, Inc will immediately have
access to use GeneDose LIVE to gain the complete picture of therapy safety for their patient at no
additional charge.
SafeTRx
SafeTRx by Coriell Life Sciences is a secure, HIPAA compliant, cloud hosted application for use by
patients and their families. SafeTRx empowers patients with the best available information about all
types of risk associated with their medications.
These include:
• Genetic metabolism risks • Anticholinergic burden risks
• Genetic adverse reaction risks • Geriatric toxicity risks
• Genetic competitive inhibition • Lifestyle risks
• Drug interaction risks • Duplicative therapies
• Contraindications • FDA Black Box warnings
• Pregnancy/lactation risks • FDA reported side effects
• Pediatric risks • Drug label warnings
Page 4 CONFIDENTIAL
SafeTRx also allows the patients to fill out their own demographic, lifestyle and medication information
to pre-populate the GeneDose LIVE application for the doctor. Moreover, since SafeTRx allows the
patients to profile family members as well, the system promotes genetic testing beyond just the subject
of the original lab order.
In effect, the patients become an extension of your sales force.
SafeTRx leverages the scientific data and pharmacogenomic expertise of the 62 year old Coriell Institute
for Medical Research along with the industry leading drug compendiums from Reed Elsevier, the U.S.
FDA, the American Geriatric Society, the American Pharmacist Association, and others. After entering
some information about their treatment plan and lifestyle, users are given a comprehensive analysis of
what drugs are safe and which are likely to cause adverse effects.
SafeTRx features
SafeTRx is a cloud hosted application available from any internet connected computer, tablet, or
smartphone. The application allows users to create profiles for themselves and for members of their
families who are suffering with medication related issues. The main application features include:
• Comprehensive U.S. drug information database updated twice a day
• Complete risk analysis: available in real time and presented as compelling visuals and 'consumer
grade' language
• "Side Effect Detective" that quickly shows which drug in the treatment plan is most likely causing
side effects
• Possible genetic risk assessment answering if genetic testing would help
• Generation of Physician advisory letters that highlights the findings of SafeTRx and invites the
doctor into a Healthcare Professional version of the tool at no additional cost where they can
perform real-time risk modeling of safer alternatives
SafeTRx is available on all browser enabled devices including smartphones, tablets,
laptops and desktops. Three months of use of SafeTRx is included in the cost of
GeneDose. After three months the user will be prompted to continue service if
they so choose by subscribing to SafeTRx for $3 per month.
SafeTRx can also be used as a pilot tool to break into new client accounts. Low
cost per user implementations of SafeTRx have shown to drive new genetic testing
orders without prospects needing to commit to costly up front implementations.

Page 6 CONFIDENTIAL
Genes, SNPs, and CNV
All genes, SNPs/ genotypes, by rs number, and CNV that are assayed by LAB will be documented.
Information includes gene, SNP, chromosome number, chromosome location (and source/build
information), variant alleles, SNP reporting format (Heterozygous order information; e.g. A/G vs G/A),
and assay catalog number (when available; e.g. ABI cat no.). Additionally, all assay result options are to
be documented including "not able to test," "inconclusive results," "ambiguous results," "no results,"
etc. The genes and genotype documents should provide reference values and population or source data
for wild type and variant options to ensure correct assigning of "normal" and "variant" values.
Test Requisition and Consent Form
CLS will provide required consent language that may be included in the sample collection kit. Data
extracted from the Laboratory Test Requisition and Consent should be passed to CLS with accessioned
patient information and may include the language from the patient consent. Specific lifestyle,
demographic, medication information will empower GeneDose™ LIVE and will be detailed for possible
inclusion in the Clients Test Requisition form. All information that will be passed to CLS from sample
accessioning will be documented.
GeneDose™ Report Customization
The GeneDose™ Report is built around a customizable template. Main Report sections are modular and
can be added and removed during the Execution phase. Company logos, addresses, and contact
numbers are customizable. CLS is not responsible for designing logos for the Report. Some colors that
are utilized throughout the report are customizable and will be specified and documented.
Data Transfer
CLS will collect information on Personalized Genetic Testing, Inc's data structures for integration and
provide documentation for data structures and operations supported by CLS. These will cover Account
Integration, Accessioning Data Integration, and Reporting Integration.
Coriell Life Sciences Account Integration Guidelines describes the data structures and operations
supported by Coriell Life Sciences' (CLS) account provisioning and management services. CLS makes
these services available as a set of secure, broadly-compatible web services based on HTTP and JSON,
conforming generally to REST principles. The common goal of these web services is to enable CLS's
partners and Clients to describe the organizations and physicians to which CLS will deliver GeneDose™
reports and/or other services, and to allow CLS's partner organizations and Clients to query the delivery
status of such reports.

Personalized Genetic Testing, Inc will communicate directly with the Clinician/treatment center
personnel throughout all phases of this Project.
Page 8 CONFIDENTIAL
On Going ServicesSample report generation
Coriell Life Sciences will provide access to the GeneDose™ Software as a Service (SaaS) platform for the
generation of patient specific physician advisory information. The GeneDose™ Report combines the
best of available scientific knowledge focused only on actionable results as they relate to drug efficacy
and risk of adverse reactions. The GeneDose™ genetic interpretations are the result of the patented,
published and peer reviewed process created within the Coriell Personalized Medicine research
project. As new genetic associations are added to the GeneDose interpretation engine, they will
become available for use by Personalized Genetic Testing, Inc and its customers.
Use of the GeneDose™ engine will be available via web services as documented by CLS in a provided
technical design document.
The GeneDose™ Report will be generated using one or more custom templates developed during the
project initiation.
Coriell Life Sciences is also happy to work with Personalized Genetic Testing, Inc to expand the
GeneDose™ results to include additional risk factors or gene:drug associations if the scientific evidence
meets the standards of the Coriell Phaesis™ reporting process.
Page 9 CONFIDENTIAL
GeneDose LIVE physician access
GeneDose LIVE is a unique offering that goes well beyond simple pharmacogenomic and genetic
metabolizer results. GeneDose LIVE brings together information from thousands of data sources to
present a total picture of risk and efficacy for a patient's treatment plan. Healthcare providers can use
GeneDose LIVE to model alternative choices for risky medications to see what impact those new drugs
would have tailored specifically to their individual patient.
GeneDose LIVE will be provided in conjunction with each delivered GeneDose™ Report as a unique Link/
URL for the physician to use as needed. Within the application the physician is able to modify
demographic, lifestyle, treatment and indication information as needed to receive a real-time view of
the risks of a total treatment plan.
Access to each patient GeneDose LIVE record will be provided at no additional cost for no less than 6
months following the delivery of the initial GeneDose™ Report. After 6 months, Coriell Life Sciences
reserves the right to remove access to that patient record or seek further remuneration from the
physician for continuing access to the GeneDose LIVE modeling tool.
Support
Telephone based technical support for both the GeneDose™ Report generation SaaS solution and
GeneDose LIVE risk modeling tool will be available during business hours eastern standard time,
Monday through Friday.
SafeTRx end user support will be provided via email only at this time. Live technical support can be
provided at additional cost.
EMail based technical support will be provided 24x7 with a 24 hour turn around time for issue
acknowledgement and status updates.
