Table 1. Impact of the 14 bp InDel on the luciferase reporter gene expression when both construction types (1Fter-4R and 1Fter-2R primers) were considered in each cell line independently or in the four cell lines in combination.

MW: The two-tailed Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the haplotype group exhibiting the 14 bp insertion (UTR-2, UTR-5, and UTR-7) and the haplotype group having the 14 bp deletion (UTR-1, UTR-3, UTR-4, and UTR-18). Median Luciferase expression (RLU) is downregulated more intensively by UTRs with 14 bp insertion. (): number of experiments.
