Women with VUS in any of the three genes were included in the NAD and non-carrier groups; results did not differ when these individuals were excluded from the analyses; adjusted results were adjusted for age at diagnosis, debulking status, stage, grade (low/high), ascites present at surgery, and menopausal status including categories for patients with missing data.
