Figure 2 Gene expression of BAK1 in peripheral blood samples from Iranian patients with ARHI and healthy subjects.

Notes: The difference between the two groups is statistically significant (U=484, P=0.008). The box plots show the median (solid line across the box).
Abbreviation: ARHI, age-related hearing impairment.

Notes: Difference between the two groups is statistically significant (U=548, P=0.04).
Abbreviation: ARHI, age-related hearing impairment.
