1 ADx Bone Marrow Report Patient Information Referring Physician Specimen Information Procedure: Reported: 01/14/2015 (203.00) Multiple myeloma; anemia, multiple lytic lesions; diagnosis of multiple myeloma on left pelvic biopsy (The Medical Center of Southeast Texas, S , 12/9/2014) - PLASMA CELL NEOPLASM, 25% CLONAL PLASMA CELLS IN NORMOCELLULAR MARROW Comments: Flow cytometry detected 2% kappa clonal plasma cells (underrepresented). Immunostains reveal approximately 25% kappa clonal plasma cells. Morphologic evaluation reveals a normocellular marrow for age (40% cellularity) with normal iron stores (2 on a scale of 0 to 4), trilineage hematopoiesis and mildly decreased erythroid precursors. Monoclonal protein in serum or urine, clonal plasma cells in bone marrow and related bone lesions would fulfill the criteria for symptomatic plasma cell myeloma. Clinical correlation is recommended. Myeloma FISH panel showed multiple abnormalities including deletion 17p13, which is an unfavorable prognostic indicator in plasma cell myeloma. Preliminary findings were discussed with the doctor.

2 Patient Information Referring Physician Specimen Information Procedure: Flow Cytometry Report Reported: 01/08/2015 (203.00) Multiple myeloma - 2% KAPPA CLONAL PLASMA CELLS IDENTIFIED Comment: Flow cytometry detected 2% kappa clonal plasma cells; however, plasma cells are typically underrepresented in flow cytometry. Morphologic evaluation, conventional cytogenetics, and myeloma/mgus FISH panel are in process. Results Populations Identified Abnormal plasma cell population identified, of variable cell size, comprising 2% of events analyzed, with the following antigenic profile: POSITIVE FOR: CD38 (bright), CD45 (dim), CD56 (variable), CD138, intracellular kappa NEGATIVE FOR: CD5, CD10, CD19, CD20, CD34, CD117, intracellular lambda. Kappa clonal plasma cells Myeloblasts: <1% B-Cells: 2% surface-kappa:lambda ratio: 1.2:1 (consistent with polyclonal B-Cell population) Hematogones: 0% T-Cells: 1% CD4:CD8 ratio: 0.8:1 (slightly low, nonspecific) NK-Cells: <1% Plasma cells: 2% Granulocytes: 93% Monocytes: 1% Viability: 95% The remaining events consist of debris and non-staining forms.

6 Patient Information Referring Physician Specimen Information Procedure: FISH Report Reported: 01/13/2015 (203.00) Multiple myeloma; anemia, multiple lytic lesions; diagnosis of multiple myeloma on left pelvic biopsy (12/9/2014) MULTIPLE MYELOMA PANEL: POSITIVE 1. TRISOMY 5 WAS DETECTED IN 16.5% OF ANALYZED CELLS 2. DELETION OF TP53 WAS DETECTED IN 15% OF ANALYZED CELLS 3. TRISOMY 9 WAS DETECTED IN 13.5% OF ANALYZED CELLS 4. DELETION OF 13q14.3 WAS DETECTED IN 10% OF ANALYZED CELLS Comment: nuc ish(chd5,160h23)x2[180],(cen3x2)[197],(d5s630/d5s2064,egr1)x3[33/200],(cen9x3)[27/200], (D13S319/D13S25x1,D13S1825x2)[20/200],(IGHx2)[189],(TP53x1,D17Z1x2)[30/200] A total of 200 interphase nuclei were scored for each multiple myeloma (MM) probe set on a direct harvest of plasma cells magnetically isolated from the bone marrow aspirate and revealed a positive result. Three copies of 5p15.31 and 5q31.2, indicative of possible trisomy, were seen in 33 cells; a deletion of TP53 at 17p13 was seen 30 cells; three copies of the centromere region on chromosome 9, indicative of possible trisomy, were seen in 27 cells; and deletion on the long arm of chromosome 13, at 13q14.3 was seen in 20 cells. All other probes scored within normal reference ranges. Loss of TP53 is an adverse prognostic indicator whether seen as the sole abnormality or combined with other chromosome changes, such as deletion 13q, +5, and +9. These results should be interpreted within the context of all relevant testing on this patient. Follow-up FISH and/or chromosome studies are available as clinically indicated. 5p15.31 (green), EGR1 (red) TRISOMY 13q14.3 (red), 13q34 (green) DELETION of 13q14.3 Analyzed Probes: CHD5 (1p36) and 160H23 (1q44) probe set to detect gains of the long arm of chromosome 1 (1q); CEN 3 (3p11.1-3q11.1) to detect polysomy of chromosome 3; D5S630/D5S2064 (5p15.31) and EGR1 (5q31.2) probe set to detect polysomy of chromosome 5; CEN 9 (9p11.1-9q11.1) to detect polysomy of chromosome 9; D13S319/D13S25 (13q14.3) and D13S1825 (13q34) probe set to detect deletions of the long arm of chromosome 13 (13q); IGH (14q32.3) break apart probe set to detect rearrangements of IGH; and TP53 (17p13) and D17Z1 (CEN17) probe set to detect deletions of TP53 and aneusomy of chromosome 17. (All probes CytoCell) The scoring for this case was completed using a per cell nuclei approach to signal counting and was performed manually by a licensed technologist. Interphase FISH is performed to screen for the loci indicated above and does not detect other chromosomal abnormalities.
