aU, unknown diagnosis; NC, normal cytology; ASCUS, atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance; LSIL, low grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia; HSIL, high grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia.bvariant names according to the recently proposed nomenclature [16]; E-G350 other, all other variants containing 350G and other variations but found in less than 5 samples each; E-r other, all other variants containing 350T with other variations.cNo., number of samples.dthis was statistically significant in comparison to E1 reference E-r (p = 0.0227), E1 reference E-G350 (p = 0.0326), E1 reference subtotal E (p = 0.0128) and subtotal E1 reference samples (p = 0.0143).ethis was statistically significant in comparison to E1 reference subtotal E (p = 0.0452) and borderline significant in comparison with subtotal E1 reference samples (p = 0.0503).
