  1. * – The percentage of cases that lost APM or β2m expression is relative to the number of HLA negative cases of each subset
  2. † – HLA expression differs significantly between sporadic MSI-H and MSS tumors (p < 0.0001) and between HNPCC and sporadic MSS tumors (p < 0.005)
  3. ‡ – The association of HLA class I loss with that of β2m and of APM components differs significantly (p < 0.0001) between sporadic RST and HNPCC tumors.
