Figure 2. HIPK2 mRNA expression analysis in WDTCs.

Figure 2

(A) Real Time RT-PCR analysis of HIPK2 gene expression in 48 surgical samples of group B patients. Mean HIPK2 mRNA levels ± SD are shown for FHs, PTCs, and FVPTCs. The results, calculated with 2ΔΔCT method, are expressed relatively to the value of 1.0 obtained analyzing a pool of 10 mRNA extracted from NTT. Horizontal bars indicate the average score within each group of samples, while boxes indicate ±SD. (B) The histogram shows the percentage of samples, within each indicated histotype, with HIPK2 mRNA expression levels higher (white bars) or lower (black bars) compared to that obtained in the pool of NTT.
