| Major SPS Phenotypes | WHO Criteria 2010 | WHO Criteria 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Type 1 | I. At least 5 serrated polyps proximal to the sigmoid Colon, 2 of which are > 10 mm in diameter.α | I. ≥5 Serrated lesions/polyps proximal to the rectum, all being ≥5 mm in size, with at least 2 being ≥10 mm in size |
| II. Any number of serrated polyps occurring proximal to the sigmoid Colon in an individual who has a first-degree relative with SPS. | ||
| Type 2 | III. > 20 serrated polyps of any size distributed throughout the Colon.α | II. > 20 Serrated lesions/polyps of any size distributed throughout the large bowel, with ≥5 being proximal to the rectum. |
