Management will participate in a fireside chat at the BofA Securities 2025 Health Care Conference on May 14, 2025, at 6:00 PM ET, and at the Goldman Sachs 46th Annual Global Healthcare Conference on June 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET.

Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ: MYGN) announced the publication of a real-world study in JCO Precision Oncology demonstrating the effectiveness of their RiskScore® breast cancer risk assessment tool. The study showed that RiskScore predicted different risk levels than the Tyrer-Cuzick model for nearly 20% of patients. Notably, patients with ≥20% lifetime breast cancer risk identified by RiskScore were more likely to receive guidelines-aligned screening, including mammography, breast MRI, and genetic counseling.
RiskScore, which is integrated into Myriad's MyRisk® Hereditary Cancer Test, combines a polygenic risk score (PRS) validated for all ancestries with the Tyrer-Cuzick model to predict five-year and remaining lifetime breast cancer risk. The study findings suggest that clinicians are effectively utilizing RiskScore results to make informed decisions about patient risk management and screening recommendations.
Myriad Genetics reveals significant findings about mental health medication perceptions through their GeneSight Mental Health Monitor survey. While 89% of Americans with depression/anxiety believe in medication effectiveness, 52% avoid taking them due to side effect concerns.

The study also shows strong social acceptance of mental health medications, with 67% agreeing it's socially acceptable to take them, and 66% having positive views of others using such medications.

Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ: MYGN) announced new clinical data for their Precise™ MRD test in oligometastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients at the AACR Annual Meeting. The study, presented by Dr. Chad Tang from MD Anderson Cancer Center, demonstrated that metastasis-directed radiation therapy helped patients delay or avoid systematic treatments while maintaining high survival rates of 94% at two years and 87% at three years.
The research showed that patients testing positive on Precise MRD initiated systemic therapy within a median of 27 months, while MRD-negative patients maintained on radiation therapy for 54 months. The test identified over 50% of patients as MRD-positive at baseline, demonstrating superior detection capabilities in ccRCC's challenging low tumor fractions compared to first-generation tests.
Additional research presented includes optimization of tumor-informed MRD panels and the benefits of including INDEL mutations for improved detection sensitivity. Precise MRD is currently available for research studies in partnership with academic and pharmaceutical investigators.
Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ: MYGN) announced positive results from a study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology regarding their GeneSight® Psychotropic Test for major depressive disorder patients. The study revealed:

- 39% relative reduction in psychiatric-related hospitalizations
- 29% relative reduction in overall hospitalizations
Patients switched to medications with no/moderate gene-drug interactions showed a 44% reduction in psychiatric hospitalizations and 34% reduction in overall hospitalizations. The study suggests GeneSight helps healthcare providers better identify effective medications and reduce trial-and-error prescribing.
