In total, 39 individuals were sequenced, including 11 unaffected relatives. Numbers in parentheses indicate age in years at diagnosis.
All probands were sequenced in this study.
Includes both first-degree and second-degree relatives; age in years at diagnosis is in parentheses when known.
Sequenced in this study.
This proband was also diganosed with colorectal cancer at age 47 years.
This proband was also diagnosed with lobular breast cancer at age 36 years.
No microsatellite instability was detected in tumour.
