Expression of HOXA11 in the mid-luteal endometrium from women with endometriosis-associated infertility

Table 3 DNMT1, DNMT3A and DNMT3B transcripts in eutopic mid-luteal endometrium from infertile women with endometriosis, fertile women and infertile women with tubal occlusion.

The target mRNA levels were corrected to the amount of ACTB and cDNA and expressed as multiplicity of these cDNA copies in the calibrator. P values for ^aendometriosis vs fertile women or ^bendometriosis vs infertile women with tubal occlusion were assed by Mann-Whitney Rank Sum Test.
