The expression of SATB1 mRNA was also demonstrated to increase with increasing TNM stage, TNM-1 vs. TNM-2 (absolute median copy number 15.0 vs. 53.1, p = 0.0264, absolute mean copy number 65 vs. 148, p = 0.035) and increasing tumour grade, grade 1 vs. grade 3 (absolute mean copy number 45.6 vs. 111, p = 0.017, normalized mean copy number 0.347 vs. 0.89, p = 0.038); grade 2 vs. grade 3 (absolute median copy number 6.53 vs. 37.32, p = 0.0437); grade 1 vs. grade 2 and 3 (absolute mean copy number 45.6 vs. 94, p = 0.021). Here, SATB1 is linked to neoplasm.
