a

Among 19 581 carriers of BRCA1 mutations and 11 900 carriers of BRCA2 mutations.

b

Missense mutations only: HR = 1.42; 95% CI, 1.06–1.90.

c

Mutations conferring NMD only: HR = 2.56; 95% CI, 1.03–6.34.

d

Mutations conferring NMD only: HR = 1.35; 95% CI, 1.05–1.72.

e

Premature termination codon mutations only: HR = 1.31; 95% CI, 1.17–1.47.

f

Mutations conferring NMD only: HR = 1.38; 95% CI, 1.20–1.59.

g

Premature termination codon mutations only contributed to this estimate.

h

Mutations conferring NMD only: HR = 1.26; 95% CI, 1.07–1.48.

i

Premature termination codon mutations only: HR = 1.26; 95% CI, 1.07–1.48.

j

Mutations conferring NMD only: HR = 0.31; 95% CI, 0.13–0.77.
