Table 1. Comparative studies between germline and tumorBRCA testing results.
The table shows the recent relevant studies investigating the
concordance in the identification of BRCA germline variants
between germline and tissue tests. For each reference study, the number
of subjects with paired tumor and germline BRCA tests is
reported, together with the cancer and specimen types. According to the
study, we reported the methodological pipelines adopted, if available.
The table also shows details about the germline findings not reported by
tumor test.
