  1. Numbers indicate fold induction of gene expression relative to the reference genes, such as 18S and GAPDH
  2. NS not statistically significant (p > 0.05), SD standard deviation
  3. aFigures do not add up because one patient declared two pathologies simultaneously
  4. bMann-Whitney U Test p-value
  5. cDifference statistically significant after Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons (76 tests, cut-off is ≈ 0.0007)
