Figure 3. Clonal expansions and telomeres in all biopsies analyzed for UC Non-Progressors and Progressors with early-onset of disease and more than 8 years disease duration.

Figure 3

Open circles: non-dysplastic biopsies; black circles: dysplastic biopsies. A–B: Age of patients is indicated in the X-axis. Vertical line separates Non-Progressors from Progressors. Horizontal dotted-lines indicate the thresholds that separate Non-Progressors from Progressors with optimal sensitivity and specificity. C–D: Association between telomere length and percentage of mutations for colon biopsies from UC Non-Progressors (C) and Progressors (D). Regression lines (excluding dysplastic biopsies) are shown and the statistically significant p-value for the GEE regression test in C is indicated.
