Sony for the delayed response. We just got word from the IRB and we're finally ready to push forward with
the YPO study.
I wanted to discuss a couple things with Jeffrey by phone at his convenience including:
a) getting a whole genome through Illumina puts him a little bit outside of the workflow pipeline for the YPO
project. le, those participants are paying $1000 each and will be getting their exomes sequenced through
Ambry, a thumbnail drive of their compressed genomic data, and an annotated report of 56 ACMG gene hits.
I think it's worth getting him into this queue as well so he goes through the same pipeline as the YPO folks
and others in our study. Last time I discussed with him he definitely wanted a whole genomes through
Illumina for —$11,000 (which is still fine) but would he be interested in also getting the $1000 exome to also
go through the normal pipeline? Although the exome data should be redundant with the whole genome data, I
think it's worth it for the thumbnail drive and the ACMG gene summary. We'll also be able to check for
concordance between the 2 datasets.
b) Jeffrey has samples (including fibroblast cell culture from his skin biopsy) at HMS. Do I have his
permission to request these samples from the PGP for inclusion in the YPO study? (The samples can be used
for both studies if he wishes.) Our YPO study may need a self-collected saliva sample for which I can mail
him a kit. So, I wanted to discuss these sample issues with him as well.
c) Lastly, we actually still need some bioinformatic and genetic counselor support for the YPO study - not
just for his sample but all of our 80 plus YPO study subjects (from the Austin chapter). As I mentioned, all
80+ have already paid $1000 each for the sequencing but we still need to cover bioinformatics and a part-
time GC for all particpants. In the past, months ago now do to the IRB delay, Jeffrey was generous enough to
offer to pay for sequencing of YPO members. Since that's already covered, I'm wondering if he would
consider donating financial support for bioinformatic infrastructure for this study.
I'm available to discuss later this evening. Tomorrow and this weekend are also relatively open for a brief
call. My cell is
EFTA00991305
Thanks in advance for passing on this message. We're excited to finally be moving forward with our
innovative study.
Best,
Joe

Hello Joe! Hope you are well and enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend...Jeffrey is asking if you have been
able to submit his sample as of yet? Can you let me know where we stand?
