Finally, in adults at time 3, B-ALL cases with a SORT1 expression level > 5.007 showed differences in their survival curves when compared with cases with expression level lower than or equal to the cutoff for this gene ( P < 0.001); however, despite an increased risk of relapse/death about 14 times for patients with SORT1 expression level above 5.007, their P value reflected only a statistical trend ( P = 0.05).
