Figure 2.

Relative gene expression of HOXB cluster genes in ectopic and eutopic tissues of endometriosis patients (n=15) compare to healthy women (n=15). The relative quantity of gene of interest was normalized to the relative quantity of β-actin, as reference gene and was reported as fold change of gene expression. Values expressed as mean±SEM. Data were analyzed by ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison tests. (*p<0.05 compared to control group, ** p<0.05 between eutopic and ectopic groups).
