Figure 1. Clonal expansions and telomere length in UC patients.

Figure 1

For each patient, mean clonal mutations (A) and mean telomere length (B) were calculated as the mean of all non-dysplastic biopsies analyzed per patient (mean 5, range 3–8). The same biopsies were analyzed in both assays. Age, disease duration (years), and age of onset are indicated for each patient on the X-axes. Patients are grouped by Non Progressor and Progressor status and shading-coded to facilitate group comparisons. White: patients with age of onset <50 years and disease duration <8 years; light gray: patients with age of onset <50 years and disease duration >8 years; dark grey: patients with age of onset >50 years. Patients without bars on Figure 1A do not have any mutant genotypes. p-values correspond to t- tests.
