a

Overall no‐call rate calculated by: # no‐calls/28158 genotype calls (247 SNPs in 114 patients).

b

No‐call rate by genotype calculated by: # no‐calls/# calls of that genotype. Note this excludes 135 SNPs with no‐calls in blood.

c

Strict discordance defined as a genotype call was made in both blood and FFPE‐T (or FFPE‐LN) and the calls were different.

d

Overall strict discordant call rate calculated by: # genotype calls in FFPE‐T (or FFPE‐LN) that are different from genotype call in blood/# of genotype calls in FFPE‐T (or FFPE‐LN) and blood. Note that any sample with a no‐call in FFPE‐T (or FFPE‐LN) or blood excluded from calculation.

e

Strict discordance rate by genotype calculated by: # genotype calls in FFPE‐T (or FFPE‐LN) that are different from genotype call in blood/# of genotype calls in FFPE‐T (or FFPE‐LN) and blood of that genotype. Note that any sample with a no‐call in FFPE‐T (or FFPE‐LN) or blood excluded form calculation.

f

Type of discordance with the genotype call in blood first and the genotype call in the tissue of interest second. Percentage calculated as the # of discordant calls in that direction/the number of total discordant calls.

g

Possible discordance defined as either a strict discordant call was made or a genotype call was not made in blood or FFPE‐T (or FFPE‐LN).

h

Overall possible discordance calculated by: # of genotype calls in FFPE‐T (or FFPE‐LN) that are different from genotype calls in blood plus number of no‐calls in FFPE‐T (or FFPE‐LN) or blood/28158 genotype calls (247 SNPs in 114 patients).

i

P‐values compare FFPE‐T or FFPE‐LN vs. blood, FFPE‐T vs. FFPE‐LN, or homozygous vs. heterozygous within sample type, as appropriate.
