Figure 1From: Analysis of BRAFV600E mutation and DNA methylation improves the diagnostics of thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsiesThe overall methylation levels of the five genes in FNAB DNA samples from the patients with thyroid nodules. Q-MSP assay was performed as described in Methods. The relative methylation level (on Y axis) is represented by ratios of candidate gene/β-actin (×100). Horizontal lines indicate a 95% confidence interval for the sample mean. P values <0.05 were considered significant.Back to article page
