From: Defensin alpha 6 (DEFA 6) overexpression threshold of over 60 fold can distinguish between adenoma and fully blown colon carcinoma in individual patients

Figure 2

Gene expression of DEFA 1-3. The DEFA 1-3 expression was normalized to β-actin, in normal, normal near tumor, adenoma and the respective tumor tissue samples. For better visualization the scale was segmented with suppression of the highest values. The horizontal lines represent the median over all investigated patients. Differences between multiple groups were tested using Kruskal-Wallis test. Significant up-regulation was observed in adenoma tissue over the related normal colon tissue (* p < 0.05). The rest of the comparisons did not show significance according to the test (p > 0.05).
