RT-qPCR validation experiments of selected transcripts. The box plots show the natural logarithms of the relative gene expression levels (calculated by dividing the RT-qPCR values by the geometric mean of the HKs PGK1 and UBC raw quantities) for the individual genes (a and b) in blood samples of 12 de novo PD patients and 12 age- and sex-matched HCs. The statistical significance was calculated by t-test (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001)
