1Cases of adenomas were divided into mild/moderate (n = 52) or severe (n = 20) according to the diagnosed degree of dysplasia.
-
a p value when expression levels were compared to the control group of healthy individuals using one-way ANOVA with a Tukey's post test.
-
b p value for comparison of mRNA expression levels in normal and tumor samples from the same individual using a paired two-tailed T-test.
