ABCC7/CFTR Expression Is Associated with the Clinical Course of Ulcerative Colitis Patients

Figure 3

Gene expression of IL-6 from colonic biopsies of UC patients. The relative gene expression of IL-6 was employed as an inflammatory marker and was also compared in patients with active and remission UC and the control group for confirmation of the histological diagnosis. The medians of relative expression in the three groups were compared with Kruskal Wallis and individual groups were analyzed by Mann–Whitney test.
