Patients with more than one type of cancer are included in more than one category

a

One patient with ovarian cancer had both ATM and BRCA2 mutations

b

Patient with GIST had ATM and KIT mutations

c

Patient with breast cancer had BARD1 and PALB2 mutations

d

Patient with family history of colon with MSH2 and EPCAM mutations, likely representing a contiguous gene deletion

e

One colorectal cancer patient with biallelic MUTYH mutations
