THBS4 mRNA expression in human diffuse and intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinomas. The mRNA abundance of THBS4 was examined by means of quantitative real-time PCR. Quantitation was done relative to the transcript of actin, β (ACTB). Significance in differential expression between groups was calculated using Mann–Whitney U-test. Expression value distribution within groups is displayed by box and whisker plots.
