Expression of DPF3 gene in patients with hematologic malignancies.

Means of DPF3 expression levels (relative mRNA levels), standard errors (SE) and range for each patient cohort and healthy controls are shown. ?Statistical significance refers to comparison with the expression levels in the PB (P1) or BM (P2) of healthy controls (Mann-Whitney U test). Statistically significant P values are depicted in bold. Considering that in AML, ALL and CML, a rather similar infiltration of PB and BM by neoplastic cells is observed, a comparison with both groups of healthy controls (PB and BM) was performed.
