Expression of a novel immunoglobulin gene SNC73 in human cancer and non-cancerous tissues

Table 2 The relationship between SNC73 expression level and various clinicopathological factors of CRC patients. The expression level of SNC73 was interpreted as the ratio of its OD value relative to that of β-actin. (^-x±s)
