NDC1 and hydrops fetalis: When we compared protein levels between patients with HF and controls, NDC1, Nup160, Nup153 and Nup93 were significantly increased in pathological samples (156±57 vs. 100±19 arbitrary units (AU), p<0.0001; 177±93 vs. 100±20 AU, p<0.0001; 246±180 vs. 100±55 AU, p<0.0001; and 160±85 vs. 100±25 AU, p = 0.023, respectively).
