Univariate analysis confirmed the statistical significance of observed differences among nevi and the entire set of melanoma samples (q < 0.001) (Figure 1b) and both, univariate and multivariate analysis, provided statistical evidence for a different level of expression of RKIP in nevi and melanomas at early stages (AJCC 8th I/II) (Figure 1c). Here, PEBP1 is linked to melanoma.
