Correlation between relative C α expression (HAC/PBGD) and cumulative deviation CD. According to the higher HAC/PBGD expression in blood samples compared to tissue specimens, we found a strong negative correlation between HAC/PBGD and CD analyzing all specimens irrespective of origin (regression line, R p = -0.4004, p = 0.0003). Regarding samples from blood (empty diamonds) and tissue (filled diamonds) separately, no correlations between the mentioned parameters were determined (Rp, blood= -0.1108, p blood = 0.4585, Rp, tissue= 0.01344, p tissue = 0.9286).
