sHLA-G expression levels, by sex and type of pathology. (A) Women exhibited significantly higher sHLA-G expression levels compared to men. (B) No significant differences in sHLA-G expression levels were found when considering the different types of gastric cancer histology. (C) No significant differences were found in sHLA-G expression levels between men and women with benign gastric pathologies. (D) Within the benign gastric pathologies group, significant differences in sHLA-G expression levels were observed when comparing polyp to other types of benign gastric pathologies: polyp to chronic gastritis, and peptic ulcer to chronic gastritis. To assess the significance of these observations, quantitative variables were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests, while categorical comparisons were assessed using Pearson's chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests.
