n | 19 | 20 | 10 | 12 | 21 |
cIAP2-mRNA | 0.93 | 1.1 | 1.06 | 0.77 | 1.14 |
Bcl2-A1-mRNA | 0.58 | 1.02 | 0.55 | 0.76 | 1.96* |
Bax-mRNA | 0.68 | 1.23 | 0.49 | 0.55 | 0.77 |

All results are expressed as median fold change relative to Cyclophilin A.
P value<0.05, according to Mann-Whitney test and as compared to HBD.
HBD = healthy blood donors. AASV = ANCA-associated Systemic Vasculitis. PV = Polycythemia Vera. TP = renal transplant recipients. RA = Rheumatoid Arthritis.
