  1. Gene expression data are shown as normalization ratio (NR). Mean cycle threshold (CT) is shown for each target. CSF/PBMC ratio represent fold change in expression between CSF cells and PBMCs. CSF/PBMC p-values represents Wilcoxon signed rank test results, and tests were only conducted if median CSF NR was >0. All other p-values represent Mann–Whitney tests for difference between groups, and q-values represent false discovery rate corrected p-values. Significant test-values are in bold. RRMS relapse: Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients in relapse. NIND: Non-inflammatory neurological disease. PBMC: Peripheral blood mononuclear cell. CSF: Cerebrospinal fluid. IQR: Interquartile range.
