WCN = whole chromosome copy number

*Chromosomal aberrations include: whole chromosome aneuploidy, segmental aneuploidy and/or mosaicism

aMcNemar’s test: The two-tailed P value equals 0.4881.Same superscript in the column indicates the difference are not statistically significant

bFisher exact testing: Same superscript in the column indicates the difference are not statistically significant (P>0.05)
