Table 2.

Frequency of Genetic Aberrations on Chromosome 6 According to WHO Type

Thymoma type Genetic aberration frequency (%)
A 30/279 (10.8%)
AB 46/364 (12.6%)
B2 41/205 (20.0%)
B3 160/615 (26.0%)
C 56/161 (34.8%)

Significant differences (chi-square-test) were found in type A versus B2 (P = 0.0045), A versus B3 (P < 0.0001), A versus C (P < 0.0001), AB versus B2 (P = 0.0191), AB versus B3 (P < 0.0001), AB versus C (P < 0.0001), B2 versus C (P = 0.0015), and B3 versus C (P = 0.0271).
