Figure 2

(A) Association between tumour size and miR371 expression in the histological subtypes of TGCC. The tumour size is plotted against miR371 expression. Regression lines for the subtypes are shown. A tumour was classified as EC if >20% of the tumour bulk consisted of EC cells. NS non-seminoma, EC embryonal carcinoma, S seminoma. (B) MiR371 expression prior to orchiectomy across the histological sub-types and clinical stages. The threshold for calling miR371 as positive is shown as a dotted, red line. Shown are mean values with 95% confidence interval. S seminomas, NS non-seminomas, TGCC testicular germ cell cancer, TGCCC, patients included with suspected TGCC, but diagnosed with other benign and malignant conditions; Healthy males, blood donors. ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05; nsP > 0.05.
