Table 1.
Associations between calpastatin, calpain-1 and calpain-2 protein expression and various clinicopathological variables. The frequency of observed clinicopathological variables is noted next to the variable subgroup. The P-values are resultant from Pearson chi-square test of association (χ2) or Fisher's exact test in a 2 × 2 table if a cell count was less than 5 (indicated by *). Significant P-values are indicated by bold font
