Total number of exome mutations (Nmut) and clinical outcome in high-grade serous ovarian cancer with germline or somatic mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 (mBRCA) or with wild-type BRCA1 and BRCA2 (wtBRCA).

A) Nmut in tumors with mBRCA. Chemotherapy resistant and sensitive ovarian cancers are shown by dot plots. P-value is derived from the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. B) Nmut in tumors with wtBRCA. Chemotherapy resistant and sensitive tumors are shown with dot plots of each tumor as in Figure 1. Median and 25-75 percentiles are indicated by horizontal lines. P-value is derived from Wilcoxon rank-sum test. C) Kaplan-Meier analysis compared PFS and D) OS between patients with high and low Nmut in their mBRCA-associated tumors. E) Kaplan-Meier analysis compared PFS and F) OS in patients with high and low Nmut in their wtBRCA tumors. The median for Nmut was computed from the whole cohort of 316 tumors. In Kaplan-Meier analyses, patients that were progression-free or still alive at the time of last follow-up were censored (+). Numbers of patients at risk at each interval are given below the graphs. P-values are obtained from Log-rank test.
