Note: NSAF — normalized spectral abundance factor reflecting protein content.
Table 2. Descriptive statistics for R parameter
Note: the data are presented as the median (min–max); descriptive statistics for quantitative variables are presented as the mean and standard deviation — M (SD); sample C — blood from the patient’s cubital vein; sample E — embryonic tissue; sample D — decidual tissue.
