Figure 2. Gene expression from nerve biopsies from leprosy and non-leprous patients with peripheral neuropathy.

Among the 47-gene set only genes that showed at least a suggestive result (n = 15) are presented. Two-tailed levels of significance less than or equal to 0.01 (**), 0.05 (*) and 0.1 (^.) were considered as “highly significant”, “significant”, and “suggestive”, respectively. A total of 50 samples non-leprous patients (white columns) and 35 samples from leprosy samples (black columns).
