| Summary of hTERC amplification according to histology diagnosis | |||
| Histology Dx | Number of cases | No. of cases with hTERC amplification (%)* | Mean of cell number with hTERC amplification |
| NNL | 26 | 0 | 1.058 |
| CIN1 | 19 | 4 (21.1%) | 5.132 |
| CIN2 | 12 | 6 (50%) | 6.083 |
| CIN3 | 27 | 22 (81.5%) | 11.093 |
| CA | 19 | 19 (100%) | 21.105 |
Dx, diagnosis; NNL, non neoplastic lesion; CIN, cervical intraepithial neoplasia; CA, cervical carcinoma.
*A case of hTERC amplification was defined as more than 5.8% of the cells showed a pattern when number of hTERC signal was more than 2.
