Correlation between the levels of DNA‐PKcs or cGAS and tumor grades in surgical specimens of human brain tumors.
| Tumor grades | ||||||

Summary of the expression patterns of DNA‐PKcs and cGAS in human glioma samples. The correlation between tumor grades and DNA‐PKcs or cGAS protein levels was analyzed using Pearson correlation test. A P‐value of < 0.05 was set as the criterion for statistical significance.
