The reliability of the exome analysis and somatic variant identification strategies was assessed using PCR and Sanger sequencing. PCR was performed using the GeneAmp PCR System 9700 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). About 20 ng template DNA from each sample was used per reaction. The products were sequenced, and all sequences were analyzed with the Sequencing Analysis Software Version 5.2 (Applied Biosystems).
