There was a significant (>13-fold, p = 0.0006) difference between the % STAT5Ptyr/CD14+ cells detected in the T1D samples tested (mean 65.85%, SD 12.79%, n = 4) and that of non-autoimmune controls analyzed in same assays (mean 4.952%, SD 4.547%, n = 3) (Figure 2a). The gene discussed is CD14; the disease is type 1 diabetes mellitus.
