a

Refers to high-confidence somatic mutations (see Methods)

b

Genic mutations are defined as those occurring in exons, introns, promoters, 5’UTR, 3’UTR, and splice site regions of RefSeq genes.

c

Copy number aberrations are defined as tumor copy number of less than 1.5 (losses) or more than 2.5 (gains).

d

Complex rearrangements are those not easily classified as any one of the other categories

e

Chromoplexic rearrangements are those which are interdependent and adjacent to other rearrangements in the tumor genome (7).

f

Gene fusions can result from deletions, inversions, translocations, or complex rearrangements
