The serrated pathway of colorectal carcinogenesis is heterogeneous with respect to its precursor lesions, molecular alterations and its prognosis. The low-risk-subtype of serrated adenocarcinomas is less frequent (<20% of all serrated adenocarcinomas) and characterized by proximal location, BRAF-mutation, high CpG-island methylation with loss of MLH1-expression and MSI-H phenotype.
