For aspirate, trephine biopsy and CT-guided biopsy, negative (neg.) or positive (pos.), indicate whether or not tumour cells were present in the biopsy. βndβ indicates when a biopsy procedure or an assay was not performed. WT indicates wild-type sequence at hotspot mutation sites; H1047R and E545K indicate mutations. H1047R hom. indicates that this mutation appeared to be homozygous in this patient (all other mutations were heterozygous).
