The Y-axis corresponds to the number of read counts for each amplicon; the X-axis represents the base pair length of the microsatellite region. (a) The tumour’s BAT26 amplicon with the highest read count has a base pair length of 116. This is similar to the corresponding normal tissue, where its BAT26 amplicon also has the most read counts at a 116-base pair length. Hence, this amplicon is deemed stable. (b) The tumour’s BAT26 amplicon with the highest read count has a base pair length of 113. It is 3 base pairs shorter than the BAT26 amplicon in the corresponding normal tissue. Hence, this amplicon is deemed unstable. (Definition of unstable loci: ≥2 base pair deviations for the mononucleotide marker and ≥4 base pair deviations for the dinucleotide marker).
