The correlation between circRAB3IP expression with clinicopathological characteristics of osteosarcoma patients
| Characteristics | circRAB3IP | Expression | p Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low (n = 21) | High (n = 21) | ||
| Age | |||
| ≤18 | 9 | 11 | 0.536 |
| >18 | 12 | 10 | |
| Gender | |||
| Male | 14 | 12 | 0.525 |
| Female | 7 | 9 | |
| Tumor size | |||
| ≤8 cm | 8 | 17 | 0.004** |
| >8 cm | 13 | 4 | |
| Distant metastasis | |||
| Yes | 16 | 6 | 0.002** |
| No | 5 | 15 | |
| TNM stage | |||
| I-IIA | 15 | 8 | 0.029* |
| IIB-III | 6 | 13 |
p values were acquired by Pearson’s chi-square test.
*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 was considered statistically significant.
Low expression of circRAB3IP in 42 patients was defined as a value below the 50th percentile, and high above the 50th percentile.
