Figure 1.
CFH Transcript Number is Increased in Sun-Exposed Skin. GTEx data of 278 paired sun exposed (lower leg) and non-sun exposed (suprapubic) patient samples were analysed. CFH levels are increased in exposed skin (p<0.0001, two-tailed Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test) but not CFI (A, C). Levels of CFH mRNA (TPM) in exposed skin correlates with unexposed skin (p<0.0001, Spearman’s rank-order correlation) (B). When sorted by non-exposed CFH levels, the levels and fold increase in paired exposed samples decreases with the exception being at the highest values of CFH in non-exposed skin (D). (****p<0.0001; ns, not significant).
