  1. NS = not significant.
  2. 1Cases of adenomas were divided into mild/moderate (n = 52) or severe (n = 20) according to the diagnosed degree of dysplasia.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
