Number of tumors is compared;

*

BRCA1 p.E33K present in the tumor only at variant allele frequency (VAF) of 14%;

**

BRCA1 p.Q1811ter in the tumor at VAF 94% instead of the p.Q1756fsX74 in the germline;

^

BRCA1 p.A1823T germline mutation preserved in the tumor at VAF 92%;

#

PALB2 p.E860K present in the tumor only at very low VAF (6%);

Wt: Wild-type; Non clonal indicates TP53 mutation with VAF <25%.
