Abbreviations:

OC = ovarian carcinoma, WT = wildtype, MUT = mutant, dx = diagnosis, NA = data not available, hx = history, br ca = breast carcinoma, HG serous = high grade serous (grade 2 or 3), LG serous = low grade serous (grade 1).

a

No damaging mutations detected in any genes tested.

Damaging mutation detected in an “OC” gene.

c

A relative with OC, a relative with br ca < 50 years of age, or two relatives with br ca at any age.

d

Two BRCA1, 5 WT have unknown debulking status.

e
