Row percentage is reported.

LOH, loss of heterozygosity; R, retention (no LOH); NI, non-informative. Due to NI, total numbers of cases for each reported LOH pattern may not add up to the total number of subjects.

#

For the “No LOH” category, subjects need to have retention in all chromosome arms tested. For the “Any LOH” category, subjects can have some chromosome arms to be non-informative as long as at least one chromosome arm was LOH.

Ref. 7. Values in the Table differ slightly from original publication due to additional analyses of samples since publication of study. The previous publication included 7 cases that we categorised as low-or high-risk with NI on either 3p or 9p.
