a

The breakdown of cases by penetrance type (26 high-penetrance, 24 moderate-penetrance, and 8 low-penetrance cases) corresponds to those listed at the bottom of the Figure in parentheses with the exception of the single case noted in footnote f.

b

Represents the sample for which tumor profiling had been performed.

c

The following indicate the tumor status: LOH, status of the second allele in the tumor of the gene mutated in the germline; WT, that the second allele was not mutated; second mutation, the second allele was mutated in the tumor in the same gene demonstrating a germline variant; CN-LOH, LOH in the tumor not accompanied by changes of copy number in the chromosomal region around the mutation; ND, cases in which zygosity was not determined; h+, hypermutated tumor profile (≥20 mutations); h−, not hypermutated tumor profile (<20 mutations); m+, microsatellite instability high (MSI sensor positive; ≥10% of loci on the sequencing panel); and m−, microsatellite instability negative (MSI sensor negative; <10% of loci on the sequencing panel).

d

Patients had additional cancer diagnoses.

e

Cases with DNA repair genes associated with advanced prostate cancer in the article by Pritchard et al.16

f

The MSH6 variant in this case is a founder variant (see eTable in Supplement 3) and was not counted toward the total of high-penetrance cases with nonfounder variants, but it is included here to illustrate one of the incremental cases with hypermutation status and MSI sensor data.

g

Refers to a second nonincremental variant.
