†Unsuccessful tumor test and no subsequent referral for germline test.
‡Patient withdrew from germline testing after tumor pathogenic variant was detected.
§All tumor tests were performed after July 1, 2018.
¶25 patients diagnosed in period I received both a tumor and germline test. The tumor tests were performed after a conclusive germline test indicated the absence of a germline pathogenic variant, to potentially detect a tumor pathogenic variant.
