Human Mitochondrial DNA
• 16,568 base pairs of circular, double-
stranded DNA.
• High copy number (1000 to 10,000 per cell).
• DNA mutations occur at high frequency
(10-17 fold greater than nuclear DNA).
• Mutations can occur in a subset of
mitochondrial genomes (known as
heteroplasmy) which allows for early
mutation detection.
• Limited ability to repair DNA.
• Controls apoptosis (cell death).

Mitochondrial DNA Deletions
• Deletions are genome copies, which are
missing large parts of the genome.
• Large-scale deletions in mtDNA indicate
cellular changes that are associated with
the development of disease.
• Deletions often result in loss of complete
genes, impact energy production, and
result in production of oxidants (i.e. reactive
oxygen species).
• Cell death pathways become blocked or
shut off.

Using Deletions for Disease Detection
• Specific deletions are involved with
specific diseases.
• A particular deletion, or a combination of
deletions, are definitive for a specific
disease, (creating an opportunity to
develop molecular tests for multiple
purposes across all diseases since
detection is possible in various sample
types – tissue, biofluids, blood).
• Importantly, deletions accumulate in a
way that enables quantitative
measurement using standard laboratory
equipment platforms (e.g. qPCR).

Find Prostate Cancer in Blood
• Mitomic™ Prostate Test (MPT™) is the first non-
PSA linked liquid biopsy test for prostate
cancer. Launched in USA with LabCorp.
• Top performer and disruptive to current
standards (i.e. PSA and MRI).
• For screening at risk patients.
• Developed in collaboration with the University
of Cambridge in the UK.
• Distribution agreements signed in USA,
Australia, New Zealand, South Korea,
Germany, UK, Central Europe, the Nordics,
and Israel.
• Agreements pending in Canada, Middle East,
Africa, and Latin America.MPT MRI 4KS PCA3 PSA

Uncover False Negative Biopsies
• Mitomic™ Prostate Core Test (MPCT™) identifies the 3.4kb
mitochondrial DNA deletion associated with malignant
cells in benign tissue.
• MPCT provides: (i) a confirmation of negative biopsy
results without need for additional patient sample or office
visit (92% Negative Predictive Value) and (ii) an accurate
identification of men at high risk of undiagnosed prostate
cancer missed during prior biopsy procedure (Sensitivity
85%).
• Top performer. Field extends through the entire prostate,
versus the small ‘halo’ of the competing test.
• An in-clinic observational study of 1467 men demonstrates
MPCT reduced biopsies up to 8 fold and advanced
diagnosis by an average of 2.5 months.
• Results reported on a per core basis.
