Buccal Microarray (n = 10) | Nasal Microarray (n = 15) | |||||
Smokers n = 5 | Never n = 5 | P-Value | Smokers n = 7 | Never n = 8 | P-Value | |
Sex | 1 M, 4 F | 2 M, 3 F | p = 0.42 | 6 M, 1 F | 6 M, 2 F | p = 0.58 |
Age | 36 (+/- 8) | 31 (+/- 9) | p = 0.36 | 47 (+/- 12) | 43 (+/- 18) | p = 0.46 |
Race | 3 CAU, 2 AFA | 2 CAU, 3 AFA | p = 0.40 | 3 CAU, 3 AFA, 1 HIS | 5 CAU, 2 AFA, 1 HIS | p = 0.73 |
Demographic data for patient samples used in the microarray studies (n = 25). Clinical information including sex, age, and race are included (CAU – Caucasian, AFA – African American, HIS – Hispanic). Statistical comparisons were performed between smokers vs. nonsmokers within each tissue type. P-values for sex and race were determined by Fisher exact test.
