Relationship between genotype and <i>HMOX1</i> mRNA expression levels.

<p>Results of a comparison of each genotype and <i>HMOX1</i> mRNA expression levels were S/S = 0.01 ± 0.03, S/L = 0.049 ± 0.001, and L/L = 0.024 ± 0.009. S/S was significantly higher compared with S/L (<i>p</i> = 0.002) and L/L (<i>p</i> = 0.004).</p

Correlation between the number of GT repeats and <i>HMOX1</i> mRNA expression levels.

<p>Among the two types of allele, the longer allele was included in the analysis. In 33 subjects, a significant negative correlation was observed between the GT repeat numbers and <i>HMOX1</i> mRNA expression levels (<i>ρ</i> = −0.669, <i>p</i> < 0.001).</p

Characteristics of 60 study subjects including those with only one measurable type of allele (L allele).

Ultrasound images.

<p>We classified ultrasound images into two types. Left panel: normal group where the hyperechoic area is present in the entire dermis; and Right panel: sparse dermis group where the hyperechoic area is absent in part of or the whole dermis.</p
