MLH1 and adenoma: Out of 217 polyps in our study, only 3.69% of the samples were methylated for MLH1 and all the samples were proximally located except for one MVHP. MLH1 methylation was detected in 4% of HPs and 17% of SSAs and was completely absent in conventional adenomas and these results were found to be similar to reports discussed above [27, 31].
