  1. aRNA sample also used for qRT-PCR validation experiments.
  2. bSample used for validation experiments, but not microarray analysis.
  3. cTwo samples of varying degrees of fusion were obtained. The sample which was at the earlier stage of fusion was used for validation qRT-PCR; the sample at a later stage of fusion was used for within patient comparison only.
