It is intended for research use only and is not for use in diagnostic procedures. The panel uses Sequenom’s iPLEX Pro biochemistry with a specific Sample ID oligo mix. After spectra are obtained on the MassARRAY ® Analyzer, the Typer Sample ID software performs sample quality control, determines the gender of the sample based on three gender assays, does a pairwise comparison of all samples across a set of 44 SNPs for sample identification, and generates a results report. (See Appendix A for a list of the assays used.) Sample Quality Control The Sample ID software performs a quality control check on each sample by: • Calculating the number of amplifiable copies of DNA, based on five quantitative assays. Samples with fewer than 500 amplifiable copies will fail quality control. • Counting the number of successful SNP calls made. Samples with fewer than 30 successful SNP calls will fail quality control. Sample Matching After quality control, the Sample ID software performs a pairwise comparison of all valid samples across a set of 44 SNPs and determines which samples match each other (i.e., originate from the same person). These comparisons are reported in three categories: • Unexpected mismatch (i.e., two samples were supposed to match but did not). • Unexpected match (i.e., two samples were not supposed to match but did). • Expected match (i.e., two samples were supposed to match and did). Results for non-tumor vs. non-tumor comparisons and non-tumor vs. tumor comparisons will be reported separately in each of these three categories. The vast majority of results are expected mismatches and these results are not explicitly reported by the software. When two samples are compared, each of the 44 pairs of SNP calls are compared individually. If either sample generated a no call, that SNP is ignored for that comparison. If a non-tumor and a tumor sample are being compared, only SNPs that are homozygous for the non-tumor sample are considered, to account for potential loss of heterozygosity in the tumor. If the two SNP calls do not match, an assay-specific penalty is applied to the comparison score between those two samples, with homozygote to homozygote mismatches penalized more heavily than homozygote to heterozygote mismatches iPLEX® Pro Sample ID Panel User Guide SQNM-USG-CUS-050 2 Chapter 1 Introduction Sample ID Database The Sample ID software allows you to develop a repository of known samples against which future samples can be compared. As samples are run on the MassARRAY system and analyzed on the Typer software, you can choose to add them to the Sample ID database. Then as new samples are run on the system, you can compare them to all previously run samples in your database by choosing to generate a historical report. See page 35 for more information. 1.2 Software Installation The iPLEX Pro Sample ID Panel software requires Typer version 4.0.52 or higher. For instructions on installing Typer 4.0.52, and for information on Oracle client compatibility, see MassARRAY Typer 4.0.52 Release Notes. iPLEX Pro Sample ID Panel reports are generated in both .csv and HTML versions; Internet Explorer or Chrome are required to open the HTML reports. 1.3 Contacting SEQUENOM Please contact your local Sequenom office for customer support.

The file, “SampleID_Assay_Design.xls”, is downloadable from mysequenom.com and contains all the essential assay design specifications for the iPLEX Pro Sample ID Panel procedure. • Configure the software to indicate how samples will be identified and whether a sample is a normal or tumor sample. 3.1 Importing the Sample ID Assay Group File 1. Open Typer AssayEditor. 2. Create a new Assay Project in the Database Browser by right-clicking the root node and selecting Project Administrator. 3. Add a new Assay Project with an appropriate name. The new Assay Project will appear in the database browser. The Sample ID assay group file will be stored in this project. 4. Right-click on the newly created Assay Project and select Import Assay Group in Designer format... 5. Remove the check marks next to Design Summary and SNP Group. Make sure that there is a check mark next to Assay Group. 6. Click the Browse button next to Assay Group. 7. Navigate to folder docs under Typer 4.0 install and select “SampleID_Assay_Design.xls”. 8. Click the Import button to import the group file. 9. You can now use the imported Sample ID assays to design a Sample ID plate using PlateEditor that corresponds with your plate layout. NOTE The instructions presented here are for users who are familiar with importing assays using Typer AssayEditor and designing plates with Typer PlateEditor. For comprehensive information on using Typer, refer to the Typer 4.0.20 User’s Guide (UG 11557), which is available by contacting Sequenom Customer Support or from mysequenom.com. iPLEX® Pro Sample ID Panel User Guide SQNM-USG-CUS-050 10 Chapter 3 Configuring the Software 3.2 Setting Up Sample Identification There are two important pieces of information that the user needs to provide for each sample, in addition to the sample name: • a sample identifier, which is a sequence of characters that determines whether two samples are expected to match. • an indicator whether or not a sample is a tumor sample.This is important because the algorithm for comparing a non-tumor sample with a tumor sample is different than the algorithm for comparing two non-tumor samples. Additionally, two tumor samples can never be compared with each other. NOTE The different options for specifying this information, described below, may impact the way you name your samples. The default method for specifying sample identifiers and tumor identifiers is for the user to provide a file with the identifiers listed (see page 13 and page 14 for instructions on how to construct those files). However, there are other options that may be chosen, which involve deriving the identifiers from the sample names. Instructions are given below for choosing one of these methods. Once you have made your sample identification choices, they will remain in effect indefinitely. If you wish at some point to change the way you are identifying your samples, you can navigate to the settings window again and change your choices. To configure your identification settings: 1. Open TyperAnalyzer and in the Project Explorer pane double click on the chip(s) to be compared. The chip(s) will be added to the Chip list. 2. Load the chip(s) by checking the box next to the chip name(s) in the Chip list. 3. Once the chip(s) are loaded, select File → Reports TyperAnalyzer menu bar. (See Figure 3.1.) iPLEX® Pro Sample ID Panel User Guide → Launch Sample ID in the SQNM-USG-CUS-050 Setting Up Sample Identification Figure 3.1 Launching the Sample ID Panel software The main control panel will appear (see Figure 3.2). Figure 3.2 Main control panel iPLEX® Pro Sample ID Panel User Guide SQNM-USG-CUS-050 11 12 Chapter 3 Configuring the Software 4. Click on Settings. The Settings window will appear. The left side of the window contains options for assigning identifiers to samples, and the right side contains options for determining whether or not a sample is a tumor sample. Figure 3.3 Settings window Specifying a Sample Identifier 5. Click on a method for identifying matching samples. (See page 13 for a description of these choices.) 6. Click on a method for identifying tumor vs. non-tumor samples. (See page 14 for a description of these choices.) 7. Click Save. The sample identifier is a sequence of characters that determines whether two samples are expected to match. It may be equal to the sample name, derived from the sample name, or completely different from the sample name. Consider the following three samples. If we specify that the sample identifier is the first 5 characters of the sample name, we get the following: Sample Name Sample Identifier Sample B 12345_1_N 12345_2_T Sample C 67890_1_N 12345 12345 67890 Sample A Samples A and B share a common identifier, indicating that they are expected to match. Samples A and C and samples B and C do not share common identifiers, so these are not expected to match. iPLEX® Pro Sample ID Panel User Guide SQNM-USG-CUS-050 Setting Up Sample Identification The choices available in the Settings window for specifying sample identifiers are described below. Options for Identifying Matching Samples in the Settings Window • A file will be provided when the Sample ID panel is run (this is the default setting) If this option is selected, each time you start a new comparison the software will ask you to specify a file that contains a list of sample names and the identifiers assigned to these samples. You may also select a default location for these files to be located. The sample name/identifier file must be a .csv file, with the following format: If a line has two columns: Column 1 = Typer sample name Column 2 = Sample identifier If a line has three columns: Column 1 = Plate ID Column 2 = Well Column 3 = Sample identifier You may mix and match different acceptable formats on different lines of the same file. • A delimited section of the sample name If this option is selected, the sample name is separated into sections based on a delimiting character, and then the nth section is chosen as the sample identifier. You must specify the character to be used (Separator) and the value of n (Section Number), which must be an integer between 1 and 30 or between -1 and -30 (negative numbers start from the last section and work backwards). See the examples below. Separator Sample Name Section Number Sample Identifier - 12345-45-67 1 12345 _ 12345_678_90 -1 90 • A character range of the sample name If this option is selected the sample identifier will be a character range of the sample name. You must specify a starting and an ending character, and the sample identifier is the range of characters between and including these characters. Each must be an integer from 1 to 60 or from -1 to -60 (negative numbers start from the last character and work backwards). See the examples below. Starting character Ending Character Sample Name Sample Identifier 1 8 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP ABCDEFGH 5 6 1234567890 56 -5 -1 1234567890 67890 2 -2 1234567890 23456789 iPLEX® Pro Sample ID Panel User Guide SQNM-USG-CUS-050 13 14 Chapter 3 Configuring the Software • Keep Typer sample name If this option is selected the sample identifier will be the same as the sample name defined in the Typer software. See the examples below. Sample Name Sample Identifier 12345_1 12345_2 12345_1 12345_2 67890_1 67890_1 Specifying a Tumor Identifier Each sample must be identified as either tumor or non-tumor. Consider the following three examples. In this case the last character could be used to determine whether or not a sample is a tumor sample, with the presence of a “T” indicating a tumor sample. Sample Name Tumor Sample? Sample B 12345_1_N 12345_2_T Sample C 67890_1_N No Yes No Sample A These definitions lead to the following comparison algorithms being used by the Sample ID software: Samples A and B: Non-tumor vs. tumor algorithm Samples A and C: Non-tumor vs. non-tumor algorithm Samples B and C: Non-tumor vs. tumor algorithm The choices available in the Settings window for specifying tumor identifiers are described below. Options for Identifying Tumor Samples in the Settings Window • A file will be provided when the Sample ID panel is run (this is the default setting) If this option is selected, each time you start a new comparison the software will ask you to specify a file that contains a list of sample names labeled as tumor samples. You may also select a default location for these files to be located. The tumor identifier file must be a .csv file, with the following format: If a line has one column: Column 1 = Typer Sample Name (this will be defined as a tumor sample) If a line has two columns: Column 1 = Plate ID Column 2 = Well (this well on this plate will be defined as a tumor sample) You may mix and match different acceptable formats on different lines of the same file. Any sample not present in the tumor identifier file is considered a non-tumor sample. • A delimited section of the sample name If this option is selected, the sample name is separated into sections based on a delimiting character, and if the nth section matches a designated tumor value then the sample is labeled a tumor sample. You must specify the character to be used (Separator), the Tumor Value, and the value of n (Section Number), which must be an integer between 1 and 30 or between -1 and -30 (negative numbers start from the last section and work backwards). See the examples below. iPLEX® Pro Sample ID Panel User Guide SQNM-USG-CUS-050 Setting Up Sample Identification Separator - Section Number 1 Tumor Value T Sample Name Tumor Sample?

IMPORTANT Perform this procedure in laboratory area 1. Types of Samples The iPLEX Pro Sample ID Panel can be performed on genomic DNA isolated from fresh tissue, frozen tissue, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, or cell lines. Method You may use any method that you prefer to isolate genomic DNA from your samples. Note that DNA isolated from FFPE samples is usually of lower molecular weight than DNA from fresh or frozen samples. The degree of fragmentation depends on the type and age of the sample and the conditions used for fixation. A commercial, lysis-based kit such as Qiagen’s QIAamp DNA FFPE Tissue Kit or a similar product is recommended for processing FFPE samples. Purity Use a spectrophotometric or fluorometric method to determine the concentration and relative purity of your genomic DNA. Amount The amount of genomic DNA needed for the iPLEX Pro Sample ID Panel is 10 ng per sample. A maximum of 960 samples (for the 10 x 96 kit) or 768 samples (for the 2 x 384 kit) can be assayed. Storage Purified genomic DNA can be stored at 2-8 °C for up to 24 hours. To store DNA longer than 24 hours, we recommend storage at -25 to -10°C. Avoid freezing and thawing DNA.

The Match Report lists identifying information for the two samples involved in the comparison, and details of the SNP calls for each sample and the match scoring (see Figure 7.9). When two samples are compared, each of the 44 pairs of SNP calls are compared individually. If either sample generated a no call, that SNP is ignored for that comparison. If a non-tumor and a tumor sample are being compared (see Figure 7.10), only SNPs that are homozygous for the nontumor sample are considered, to account for potential loss of heterozygosity in the tumor. If the two SNP calls do not match, an assay-specific penalty is applied to the comparison score between those two samples, with homozygote to homozygote mismatches penalized more heavily than homozygote to heterozygote mismatches.

Improper sample naming. Rename samples using nomenclature as described on page 10. Chips are over or under-dispensed. Check the spotting and perform a volume check to make sure correct volumes are dispensed on the chip. Redispense if necessary. Too many samples failed analysis. Input DNA amount for sample(s) is too low. Repeat sample run with at least 500 amplifiable copies. Copy number is higher than expected. Reagents may be degraded. Repeat biochemistry with new reagents. Copy number is lower than expected. Sample DNA is degraded. Frequently observed with formalinfixed paraffin embedded tissue; may repeat extraction. Copy number assays show a large variation amongst one another within a sample. This observation is part of the panel design; variation is due to high multiplexed assays. Software provides an average of the 5 markers for relative quantification. Peak intensities are too low. Laser energy is too low. Before running the chip, fire on one of the calibrant pads and check that the highest calibrant peak is 150 +/- 25%. Chips are over or under-dispensed. Check the spotting and perform a volume check to make sure correct volumes are dispensed on the chip. Redispense if necessary. Peak shape is too wide. MassARRAY Analyzer may need calibration. Contact SEQUENOM Customer Support. Non template control wells have genotype calls. PCR contamination. Pre-PCR preparations must be performed in a UV-sterilized chamber; review laboratory practices. Self-extension of extend primers. Can occur in wells with no DNA. If self-extension is observed in wells with DNA, then the assay may need to be repeated. Peaks are slightly off and not aligned to the expected calls. MassARRAY Analyzer may need calibration. Contact SEQUENOM Customer Support. No genotype calls, with the presence of unextended assay peaks. iPLEX Pro Reagent Set enzyme, terminator mix, or buffer may be missing from the master mix, or the dNTP mix may be degraded. Repeat biochemistry. Poor sample quality. Repeat DNA extraction. No genotyping calls, with no unextended assay peaks. Extension primer mix missing in the master mix. Repeat biochemistry. No genotyping calls, with poor quality spectra for some wells. Chips are over or under-dispensed. Check the liquid level of wells on the sample plate; check the spotting and perform a volume check to make sure correct volumes are dispensed on the chip. Re-dispense if necessary. No genotyping calls, with peaks present but not at the expected masses. Wrong extension mix added. Repeat biochemistry. MassARRAY Analyzer may need calibrating. Contact SEQUENOM Customer Support. iPLEX® Pro Sample ID Panel User Guide SQNM-USG-CUS-050 54 Appendix C Troubleshooting Table C.1 Troubleshooting (continued) Problem Possible Reason Possible Solution Incorrect genotype call leads to incorrect scoring for matches or mismatches. Sample quantity may be too low. Check that sample passed DNA quality control, i.e., had at least 500 amplifiable copies. Incorrect reagent additions. Delete plate from Sample ID database, use Typer to correct the genotype call, and re-run the Sample ID analysis on that plate; and/or repeat experiment if reagent additions were incorrect. One sample has a poor spectra. Manually inspect the affected spectra and re-dispense the affected sample. Unexpected mismatch between a paired normal and tumor sample. iPLEX® Pro Sample ID Panel User Guide SQNM-USG-CUS-050 Appendix D Licensing License.
