Figure 4

Comparative distribution of plasmatic EBV DNA load and miR-BART17 copy numbers among NPC patients. The numbers on the axes are for the EBV DNA (x axis) and miR-BART17 (y axis) copies per mL of plasma (logarithmic scales). The samples from each NPC patient appear as diamond-shaped dots. The horizontal dotted line represents the threshold of 506 copies per mL defined by ROC analysis (see the legend of Figure 3). Five patients (10, 11, 13, 16 and 25) have more than 105 copies of miR-BART17 per mL (dots with asterisks). Only one of them (patient 10) has an EBV DNA load with more than 102 copies/mL (one dot on the upper right of the graph marked with a red asterisk).
