The bar graphs show the relative mean expression levels of 12 genes (E2F1, RUNX3, EGR3, TBPIP, ECM-2 ESM1, THBS1, GAS1, ADAM17, CST6, FBLN5, and COL18A1) in leiomyomas (LYM), keloids/incisional scars (Scar) and peritoneal adhesions (P

Values on the y-axis represent an arbitrary unit derived from the mean expression level of these genes in each tissue with their mean expression values in leiomyomas set at 1 independently for each gene prior to normalization against their expression levels in myometrium form a Caucasian serving as control. The asterisks * indicate statistical difference between the expression of these genes with arrows pointing the difference between each group. A probability level of P < 0.05 was considered significant
