Table 5 Kaplan-Meier curves’ log rank, Breslow and Tarone-ware tests are used to evaluate statistical equivalence in ALS onset, disease duration and lifespan of ANG variants with ∆∆G less than or equal to −1 and variants with ∆∆G greater than −1 or relative (WT) ribonuclease activity less than or equal to 10% or ribonuclease activity greater than 10%.

From: Loss of angiogenin function is related to earlier ALS onset and a paradoxical increase in ALS duration
