  1. Number of patients in each category is as indicated. Percentages are calculated according to the number in each Palb or T-RRT category
  2. There were no statistically significant differences between patients with Palb < 0.5 and those with higher values nor were there differences between those with T-RRT < 3 years and those with a longer course
