  1. These hypermutable bases consist of the first two positions of codons 213, 220, 245, 248, 273, and 282 and all positions in codon 249.
  2. The composition of the bases analyzed is 2 As, 4 Cs, 8Gs, and 1T. Table 9 shows the ultimate fate of C mutations in all cancers due to the presence of lung cancers.
