Figure 1.

Transcription levels of pol genes of HERV-H, HERV-K, HERV-W and of env genes of Syncytin 1, Syncytin 2, and HERV-W in whole blood from patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (CITP) and healthy controls (HC). RQ: Relative Quantification. Circles and squares show the median of three individual measurements, horizontal lines are the median values. Statistical analysis: Mann–Whitney test was used to compare the transcriptional levels of each target gene between children with CITP and HC.
