Fig. 1. Clinical characteristics of breast tumors harboring pathogenic germline variants.

Fig. 1

a Numbers and types of germline variants identified in each gene. b Box-and-whisker plots of age at breast cancer diagnosis for tumors with germline variants (n = 101), including BRCA1 (n = 15), BRCA2 (n = 62), and others (n = 24), and those without (n = 1892). The boxes indicating median and interquartile range, and the whiskers denoting the range. Asterisks indicate significance difference (Mann–Whitney U test: P < 0.05). c Distribution of phenotype according to the status of germline mutations. DCIS ductal carcinoma in situ, TNBC triple-negative breast cancer, LumHER2 luminalHer2. d Distribution of t factor for tumors according to the status of germline mutations. Tis carcinoma in situ.
