All prior testing included sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis unless otherwise noted
Negative is defined as no clinically significant mutations identified
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Early onset for breast cancer is under 45 years old. Early onset for ovarian cancer is under 50.
Number of first and second degree relatives with cancer
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
