Table 2. Correlation analysis of ATAF1 vs. PAO expression.

Using Pearson correlation analysis it was found that ATAF1 correlates positively and significantly with PAO at the P<0.05 level in all three microarray datasets. Information about the genetics and physiology of the data sets were also provided.
