(Table 2) The geNorm M values were all ≤1.10 (MT-ATP6 1.10, RPL30 0.78, RPL37A 0.60, RPLP0 0.62and RPS17 0.60) The difference in Cq values for these 5 genes between cancer and control remained insignificant in the validation set and ranged from 0.1 to 0.7 Cqs. This evidence concerns the gene MT-ATP6 and cancer.
