The results of this analysis, following removal of outliers, revealed a highly significant effect of the mutation type (specifically splice-site mutations) on the number of CALs, both with 1 to 5 CALs ( p = 1.8 × 10 −27 ) and 6 to 99 CALs ( p = 8.5 × 10 −43 ), as well as for skin freckling ( p = 0.028) and neoplasms ( p = 0.006).
