Enhanced expression of the stemness-related factors OCT4, SOX15 and TWIST1 in ectopic endometrium of endometriosis patients

Table 2 SOX15 mRNA expression in EP endometrium and endometriotic tissue of the same patient

		SOX15 mRNA in endometriotic tissue
		Total	neg		pos		P-value
SOX15 mRNA in EP endometrium	neg	17	2	(11.8%)	15	(88.2%)	0.041
SOX15 mRNA in EP endometrium	pos	12	5	(41.7%)	7	(58.3%)	0.041

Numbers of patients in each of the indicated subgroups are shown. Numbers in parentheses indicate the fraction of patients (%) in each row in ectopic endometriotic lesions negative and positive for SOX15. All p-values of subgroup comparisons were analysed by McNemar Test
