This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as previously amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed on July 13, 2009) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 1, 2009 (the “Schedule TO”), by Mastiff Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, a Delaware corporation (“LabCorp”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the “Shares”) of Monogram Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Monogram”), at a price of $4.55 per Share in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 1, 2009 (the “offer to purchase”), a copy of which is attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and the related Letter of Transmittal and instructions thereto, a copy of which is attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(B), as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time. This Amendment is being filed on behalf of the Purchaser and LabCorp.

The information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Additional Information.

The information set forth in Item 11 of the Schedule TO and in Section 15—“Certain Legal Matters—Antitrust Matters” of the offer to purchase, which is incorporated by reference into Item 11 of the Schedule TO, is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph as the third paragraph of such section of the offer to purchase:

“The initial waiting period applicable to the offer and the merger under the HSR Act expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 16, 2009, with no action by either the FTC or DOJ.
