a

All prior testing included sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis unless otherwise noted

b

Negative is defined as no clinically significant mutations identified

c

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

d

Early onset for breast cancer is under 45 years old. Early onset for ovarian cancer is under 50.

e

Number of first and second degree relatives with cancer

f

Case-level classifications with respect to uncertainty were made according to Strande et al. (2018)

*

Protein truncation testing of BRCA1/2 only

**

Sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis of BRCA1/2 and MLHI, and sequencing only of PMS2
