ψPatient 4 harbored an additional somatic pathogenic BRCA2 variant characterized by a low frequency (6%). #HGVSp - the Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) protein sequence name. The Annotation is based on the BRCA1 transcript ENSG00000012048 (NM_007294) and the BRCA2 transcript ENSG00000139618 (NM_000059). §The SNP analysis did not allow a conclusion about the presence of an LOH. ¶Based on the assumption that the VUS p.S1946P can be classified as pathogenic.
