mRNA profiling of a well-differentiated G1 pancreatic NET correlates with immunohistochemistry profile: a case report

Table 2 qPCR analysis of the expression levels of 27 markers in tumour tissue compared to non-tumour, using β-actin as endogenous control

+ and − indicates whether marker mRNA transcript levels are higher or lower in the tumour tissue compared to the matched no-tumour tissue. *Represents significant changes (p < 0.05)
−: 1–twofold change lower compared to normal; − −: 2–tenfold change lower compared to normal; − − −: > tenfold change lower compared to normal; +: 1–twofold change higher relative to normal; + +: 2–tenfold change higher relative to normal; + + +: > tenfold change relative to normal; =: similar in tumour and non-tumour
