Fig. 6From: Transcriptional profiles of pilocytic astrocytoma are related to their three different locations, but not to radiological tumor featuresResults of microarray data validation performed by independent RT-qPCR on 39 samples, equally diversified according to the three main locations. a-g values of PAX3, LHX2, CNCT1, CXCL14, IRX2, SIX6, SIX1 genes expression in pilocytic astrocytoma of different locations, presented as medians with respective inter-quartile ranges. h p-values obtained for site-specific subgroups compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test with post hoc pairwise comparisons using Dwass-Steel-Critchlow-Fligner test. Statistical significance was assumed as p ≤ 0.05. M1, cerebral hemispheric tumor (13 cases); M2, optic tract and hypothalamic tumor (13 cases); M3, cerebellar tumor (13 cases)Back to article page
