Patients having a lass I, II, or III mutation on both alleles were considered high-risk, while patients having at least 1 lass IV or V mutation were categorized as low-risk. total of 15,651 patients had a FR genotype of a known functional class; 14,525 (93%) had a high-risk FR genotype and 1126 (7%) had a low-risk FR genotype.1 References: 1.

FRdele2,3 is a lass I mutation, resulting in severely reduced FR activity 1,3-6 More recent US data ( ) suggest median survival across genotypes continues to improve 7 3
