Accounting for variances in PMN counts, the difference between the healthy control and RA subjects remained highly significant in an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) of the nucleosome assay ( P < 0.001).
Accounting for variances in PMN counts, the difference between the healthy control and RA subjects remained highly significant in an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) of the nucleosome assay ( P < 0.001).
Of interest is that no significant difference was found in this value regardless of whether the RA cases were ACPA positive or not (Figure 5 G), although a slight trend for serum nucleosome levels was higher in ACPA-positive cases than in ACPA-negative cases (Figure 5 H).
