Values in parentheses are percentages.

BP (mixed clonal), two distinct peaks in a polyclonal cell background; MP (mixed clonal), one distinct peak in a polyclonal cell background; M1‐P2, the first PCR showed a pure monoclonal (monoallelic) and the second a polyclonal pattern; MP1‐P2, the first PCR showed a mixed clonal (monoallelic) and the second a polyclonal pattern.
