2. Figure 1
Strong LoF mutations among study participants. (A) Gene structure diagrams for all official isoforms of mutated genes. Vertical structures along the line show exons. Down arrows indicate the site of mutations. Isoforms are labeled with RefSeq IDs. (B) Pedigrees of study participants with identifiable mutations in the gene set and family histories of colon cancer. Ages are current as of the time of publication. Study participants 5 and 13 did not have family histories of colon or extracolonic cancers and are not displayed.

3. Figure 2
Strong LoF mutations among controls. (A) Direct protein-protein interaction network of gene set mutations discovered in controls. Red halos designate genes also found mutated in cases. (B) Cumulative minor allele frequencies (MAFs) of each mutated gene in order of decreasing frequency. Arrows designate genes found in cases. The skewness was 8.8, and kurtosis was 92.1.

RNF43 modulates the ATM-ATR–mediated DDR pathway. (A) Gene structure diagram of the germline RNF43 mutation identified from the study participants. The arrowhead shows the site of nonsense mutation. (B) Pedigrees of study participants with germline RNF43 mutations. (C) Western blots of protein isolated from KRAS mutated pancreatic duct cells. Cells were stably transfected with short hairpin constructs targeting either GFP or RNF43 and exposed to UV irradiation as indicated. (D) Efficacy of RNF43 silencing in stably transfected pancreatic duct cells. Error bars designate the SEM.

6. Supplementary Figure 2
Sanger tracings of mutations of interest. Genomic coordinates are listed in reference to hg19. Sequence tracings displayed are in the 5′ orientation from left to right in relation to the coding domain sequence. Red arrows display site of mutation. Tracings may be inverted from the opposite strand for uniform display.

8. Supplementary Figure 4
Relative RNF43 expression among serrated adenomas and carcinomas. Microarray comparison of RNF43 expression among various studies and data sets. A P value of <.05 and a fold change greater than 1.2 in either direction was considered significant. N.S., not significant; PMID, PubMed ID number; GSE, National Center for Biotechnology Information Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) accession number.
