In metastatic tumors, NDST1 transcription levels were around 60% lower than controls in 75% of cases (p < 0.05) (Fig. 5), while in non-metastatic samples, the decrease was only around 40%, in 60% of the cases, though it was not statistically significant (p = 0.07) (Fig. 5). Here, NDST1 is linked to metastatic neoplasm.
