Figure 2. Correlation of HMGA1 expression levels and other characteristics in UM.

Figure 2

Immunoreactivity levels of HMGA1, Ki67 LI and mitoses counts. In A, B, E, values are expressed as the median (horizontal line in each box), with the 25th and 75th percentiles (interquartile range, top and bottom of each box) and the 10th and 90th percentiles range (top and bottom of each bar). Dots indicate outliers. A, Ki67 LI was significantly higher in cases with high HMGA1 expression levels compared to cases with low expression. B, Mitosis counts were also significantly higher in HMGA1 high cases compared to HMGA1 low cases. Significant correlations have been detected between the expression of HMGA1 and Ki67 LI (C), and mitoses counts (D). E, HMGA1 expression levels were significantly higher in cases showing epithelioid cell pattern than in cases lacking this cell pattern.
