  1. Representative genes are listed from each validation platform in order of 10% CV interval. (Neg) Number of non-cartilage tissues in which amplification was not detected. Average Ct values for each gene were calculated for both cartilage (C) and non-cartilage (NC) tissues. Where no amplification was observed the maximum Ct value (i.e. 35) was used for calculations. Fold difference (Fold) is calculated from the difference in cartilage and non-cartilage Ct values.
