For six of the patients, the positive inversion test results are highlighted. For two of the remaining four patients who are negative for the inversion, the VUS identified in their germline testing results is indicatd in bold. Of the remaining two unsolved cases, the negative Amsterdam and Bethesda criteria as well as low PREMM score are indicated in bold. Only one unexplained case remains

CIS Carcinoma in situ (high grade dysplasia), MTS Muir-Torre syndrome, ND not done, NMD no mutation detected, VUS variant of uncertain significance
