Clinical characteristics of the 199 investigated adenomas.

<p>All adenomas were classified endoscopically using the Paris classification; SSL; sessile serrated lesion, TSA; traditional serrated adenoma, LGD, low grade dysplasia; HGD, high grade dysplasia; proximal colon includes caecum, ascending and transverse colon; distal colon includes sigmoid, descending and splenic flexure.</p

The mutation percentage for the flat and polypoid adenomas.

<p>Only genes that show a mutation in one of the adenoma types are included. White bars represent flat adenomas and grey bars polypoid adenomas. Percentages are calculated using random imputation, horizontal bars represent the 95% confidence interval.</p

Total coverage of the 14 genes investigated, based on the COSMIC database.

<p>On the x-axis the analyzed gene. On the y-axis the mutation percentage is shown, based on large intestine carcinomas in the COSMIC database. In grey, the mutation percentages according to the COSMIC database, in black the mutation percentage covered by this study, on top of the bars the total number of analyzed samples found in the COSMIC database.</p
