2 PGD ONE PGD ONE is a preimplantation genetic diagnosis for monogenic diseases. 6World s th According to the ESHRE PGD Consortium* PGD Lab Table 1.

3 What is PGD ONE? PGD ONE is a test that detects the genetic defects (mutations) inherited by a child from their parents. DNA material from embryos is analysed prior to transfer to the uterus, that is, before the woman actually becomes pregnant. The test can be carried out on material collected by biopsy in the 3rd (blastomere) or 5th/6th (trophectoderm cells) day of the embryo culture. Because of the risk of misdiagnosis caused by the pollution of sperm when using standard in vitro fertilization, the ICSI procedure is recommended. Any diagnosis of PGD ONE is treated individually and preceded by an examination of the material from the prospective parents. Under the procedure, a frozen embryos transfer (FET) is required. Why is it worth to perform PGD ONE? Possibility of diagnosing any known genetic-based monogenic disease at the embryo stage, and reducing the risk of its occurrence in your child Possibility of conducting a PGS-NGS 360 (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) from a single sample (single biopsy) at the same time reducing the risk of monogenic diseases and genetic defects resulting from an abnormal number of chromosomes What are the indications for PGD ONE? People with a genetic test result confirming a clinical diagnosis of monogenic disease People with a genetic test result confirming the presence of mutation carriers The presence of inherited genetic diseases or a history of specific mutation in the family INVICTA Genetic Laboratory offers: Free PGD BIOPSY KIT Free shipment Online access to results NGS Next Generation Sequencing

4 Cooperation step by step 1 Diagnosis of parents Development of the diagnosis Development of an individual preimplantation genetic diagnosis, based on the material collected from the patients and the subsequent genetic laboratory results. Upon request, INVICTA sends a SALIVA KIT for collection of biological material from the parents and relatives (if required). 2 Biopsy Embryo biopsy A sample is collected via biopsy of an embryo on the 3rd or 5/6th day of the culture. Blastomere or trophectoderm cells are used for testing. Completion of the biopsy report 3 Transport Preparation of material for transport Preparation of shipping document Until dispatch, the material sample is stored at -20 C. For transportation, 3 cooling cartridges are used that are also frozen to -20 C. The cartridges are placed around the test-tube rack inside the box. Shipment to the INVICTA Genetic Laboratory During transport, the biopsy material is kept cool, or preferably frozen. Transport duration depends on the time and place of shipment. 4 Result Results available within 3 weeks Shipping address: INVICTA Genetic Laboratory Gdańsk Science and Technology Park Trzy Lipy 3, Gdańsk E mail: info@invictagenetics.com Tel.: Ready to use universal INVICTA PGD BIOPSY KIT NGS methodology Sample preparation Libraries preparation with barcoding Sequence preparation Information read-out Data analysis Limitations PGD ONE is individually designed preimplantation genetic diagnosis for particular patients in order to exclude transmission to descendant a genetic feature proven to be a cause of disease by test results from genetic diagnostics laboratory. Performing PGD ONE does not exclude risk of genetic disease, which may be resulted from other factors, e.g. de novo mutations, undiagnosed mutations, or other genetic diseases.

5 The world s first use of NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) in the PGD ONE preimplantation diagnosis for monogenic diseases. INVICTA Genetic Laboratory: February 2015 PGD ONE can now diagnose any known genetic-based monogenic disease. Table 2.

It provides exceptionally accurate, reliable and comprehensive results, from which it is possible to reduce the risk of monogenic diseases in babies. 99,999% NGS provides accuracy of % (Q50 quality assessment by Phred Quality Scores indicator developed for evaluation of DNA sequence analysis methods).
