A larger number of UM samples studied per breast increases the likelihood of finding genetically aberrant UM tissue. (A) The number of UMs sampled per patient is positively correlated with the mean number of UMs displaying an aberrant genetic profile among all 282 studied cases of breast cancer. (B) Table showing the number of cases that were used for the plot in A and that were the basis for calculation of the correlation coefficient. (C) Table showing the number of cases and the mean number of UMs that were studied from each of the four participating oncology centers.
