The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

    Error in Figure In the published article, there was an inconsistency between Figures 1 and 2. The mutation types for BRCA1 and BRCA2 are not accurately represented in Figure 1. The information provided in Figure 2 is correct - BRCA1 has two missense variants, and BRCA2 has 3 stop_gained variants, 1 frameshift, and 1 missense variant. The errors in Figure 1 occurred during the figure preparation process, where the mutation types for BRCA2 in patient #W082337N and BRCA1 in patient #W084213N were incorrectly color-coded. The corrected Figure 1 and its caption appear below. Text Correction In the published article, a correction has been made to the “Cases and Pedigrees” section of the RESULTS section, Paragraph 1. The mutation listed for Patient A should be BRCA2 c.1799_1804del, p.Tyr600_Gly602delinsTer, as shown in Table 2 and Figure 3. This sentence previously stated: “Results from Sanger sequencing indicate that his healthy brother shares the same germline mutation of BRCA2 (c.4211C>G, p.S1404Ter), and his father died of bladder cancer at the age of 60.” The corrected sentence appears below: “Results from Sanger sequencing indicate that his healthy brother shares the same germline mutation of BRCA2 (c.1799_1804del, p.Tyr600_Gly602delinsTer), and his father died of bladder cancer at the age of 60.”
