Correlation between GTA mRNA expression and NB stages. A statistically significant association exists between NC2β mRNA decrease and NB stages III and IV (4/39 and 17/39, respectively) (p = 0.003937). Interestingly, it was also found with stage I (p = 0.003922): this could suggest a stage-specific selection of the NC2β (-) mRNA phenotype.
