When groups classified according to the presence or absence of MTB and LBC were compared, the degree of atrophy was significantly higher in the MTB+/LBC- and MTB+/LBC+ groups than the MTB-/LBC- group (0.85 ± 0.36, 1.12 ± 0.42, and 0.45 ± 0.56, respectively, p < 0.001) (Table 2). The gene discussed is AKAP13; the disease is Atrophy.
