to the resale by the investors listed in the section of this prospectus entitled &ldquo;Selling Stockholders&rdquo;, or the Selling
Stockholders, of up to 1,111,952 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or the Common Stock. The 1,111,952 shares
of Common Stock are comprised of: (i) 580,346 shares of Common Stock, or the Common Shares, that were previously issued by us upon
conversion of certain convertible promissory notes, or the Private Placement Notes, issued by us in a private placement transaction,
or the Private Placement, in December 2014 and January 2015, (ii) up to 488,565 shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon
conversion of the outstanding Private Placement Notes, assuming full conversion of the Private Placement Notes at December 31,
2016, or the Maturity Date, and (iii) up to 43,041 shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of an outstanding
convertible promissory note issued, upon the same terms and conditions as the Private Placement Notes, to the sole placement agent
for the Private Placement, or the Placement Agent Note. The Private Placement Notes and the Placement Agent Note are sometimes
referred to in this prospectus, together, as the Notes. The Private Placement Notes were issued by us in an aggregate principal
amount of $1,675,000, and the Placement Agent Note was issued by us in an aggregate principal amount of $46,250, in each case pursuant
to the terms of an Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2014, by and among us and
the Selling Stockholders, or the Note Purchase Agreement. Each of the Notes accrues interest at a rate of 6% per year and matures
on the Maturity Date. The outstanding principal and unpaid interest accrued under each Note is convertible into shares of Common
Stock as follows: (i) commencing upon the date of issuance of the Note (but no earlier than January 1, 2015), the investor holding
such Note became entitled to convert, on a one-time basis, up to 50% of the outstanding principal and unpaid interest accrued under
the Note, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (a) the average closing price of the Common
Stock on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded, or the Market, for the
20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, and (b) $2.20 (subject to adjustment for stock splits,
stock dividends, other distributions, recapitalizations and the like); and (ii) commencing February 15, 2015, the investor holding
such Note became entitled to convert, on a one-time basis, any or all of the remaining outstanding principal and unpaid interest
accrued under the Note, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the average closing price of the Common
Stock on the Market for the 15 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, or, collectively, the Note
Conversion Rate. We are registering the resale of the Common Shares and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be
issued upon conversion of the outstanding Notes, assuming full conversion of the Notes at the Maturity Date, or the Note Shares,
as required by the Note Purchase Agreement. The Common Shares and the Note Shares are sometimes referred to in this prospectus,
together, as the Securities.</P>

commercial potential of our assets aimed at large genetic testing markets. This allows us to focus resources on our areas of strength,
including developing and marketing tests for rare genetic disorders and other genetic-mediated conditions in the U.S., where we

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">MX-ICP is a simple,
proprietary technology that amplifies the ability to detect genetic mutations by 100 - 400 fold. This technology has been validated
internally on all currently available sequencing platforms, including Sanger, Next Gen Sequencing and Digital PCR. By enhancing
the level of detection of genetic mutations and suppressing the normal, &ldquo;wild-type&rdquo; DNA, several benefits are provided.
It is generally understood that most current technologies are unable to consistently identify mutations that occur in less than
approximately 5% of a sample. However, many mutations found at much lower levels, even down to 0.01%, are known to be clinically
relevant and can have significant consequences to a patient: both in terms of how they will respond to a given drug or treatment
and how a given tumor is likely to change over time. More importantly, in our view, significantly improving the level of detection
while using blood, saliva and even urine as a source for DNA, rather than depending on painful, expensive and potentially dangerous
tumor biopsies, is an important advancement in patient care with respect to cancer detection, treatment and monitoring and can
result in significant cost savings for the healthcare system by replacing invasive procedures with the simple collection of blood
or other bodily fluids. By broadening the types of samples that can be used for testing and allowing all sequencing platforms to
provide improved identification of low level mutations, MX-ICP has the potential to make testing more patient friendly, enable
genetic monitoring of disease progression, effectively guide treatment protocols, and reduce the overall cost of diagnosis and
monitoring while improving patient outcomes.</P>

prospectus to allow the Selling Stockholders or their successors, assignees or other permitted transferees to sell or otherwise
dispose of, from time to time, up to 1,111,952 shares of our Common Stock. The 1,111,952 shares of Common Stock are comprised of:
(i) 580,346 shares of Common Stock that were previously issued by us upon conversion of certain of the Private Placement Notes,
(ii) up to 488,565 shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the outstanding Private Placement Notes, assuming
full conversion of the Private Placement Notes at the Maturity Date, and (iii) up to 43,041 shares of Common Stock that may be
issued upon conversion of the Placement Agent Note, assuming full conversion of the Placement Agent Note at the Maturity Date.
The Notes were issued by us in December 2014 and January 2015 in the Private Placement pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement.
The Notes were issued in reliance on the exemption from securities registration in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.</P>

Stock to be offered by the Selling Stockholders are &ldquo;restricted&rdquo; securities under applicable federal and state securities
laws and are being registered under the Securities Act to give the Selling Stockholders the opportunity to sell these shares publicly.&nbsp;&nbsp;The
registration of these shares does not require that any of the shares be offered or sold by the Selling Stockholders.&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject
to these resale restrictions, the Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer and sell all or a portion of their shares indicated
below in privately negotiated transactions or on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any other market on which our Common Stock may subsequently
be listed.</P>

may be sold directly or through brokers or dealers, or in a distribution by one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best
effort basis.&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent required, the names of any agent or broker-dealer and applicable commissions or discounts
and any other required information with respect to any particular offering will be set forth in a prospectus supplement.&nbsp;&nbsp;See
the section of this prospectus entitled &ldquo;Plan of Distribution&rdquo;. The Selling Stockholders and any agents or broker-dealers
that participate with the Selling Stockholders in the distribution of registered shares may be deemed to be &ldquo;underwriters&rdquo;
within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the registered shares
may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.</P>

given as to the amount or percentage of Common Stock that will be held by the Selling Stockholders after any sales made pursuant
to this prospectus because the Selling Stockholders are not required to sell any of the Securities being registered under this
prospectus.&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table assumes that the Selling Stockholders will sell all of the Securities listed in this
prospectus. The outstanding principal and unpaid interest accrued under each outstanding Note is convertible into shares of Common
Stock in accordance with the Note Conversion Rate. However, the Note Shares may not be issued at a price less than $1.20 per share
of Common Stock. Therefore, in the event that all of the outstanding Notes are held until the Maturity Date, the maximum aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the outstanding Notes is 531,606. If any or all of the remaining
outstanding Notes are converted prior to the Maturity Date, the number of shares of Common Stock that will actually be issued by
us upon conversion of such Notes will be less than the number of Note Shares being offered by this prospectus.</P>

on which the Selling Stockholders provided this information, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed
of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, we believe that: (1) none of the Selling Stockholders are broker-dealers
or affiliates of broker-dealers, (2) no Selling Stockholder has direct or indirect agreements or understandings with any person
to distribute their Securities, and (3) the Selling Stockholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Securities
beneficially owned, subject to applicable community property laws. To the extent any Selling Stockholder identified below is, or
is affiliated with, a broker-dealer, it could be deemed to be, under SEC Staff interpretations, an &ldquo;underwriter&rdquo; within
the meaning of the Securities Act. Information about the Selling Stockholders may change over time. Any changed information will
be set forth in supplements to this prospectus, if required.</P>

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</FONT></P>
