Figure 1

Serum DPPIV activity in healthy controls (C), in people with vitiligo (V), in patients with melanoma (M), and in patients with other malignant skin tumors (MST) or benign skin changes (BS). Xav+/−SD are cut off values obtained from healthy controls. Green circles with borders represent melanoma patients without metastases, while green circles without borders represent melanoma patients with metastatic disease. There is a statistically significant decrease in the DPPIV serum activity in patients with melanoma in comparison to healthy controls (Wilcoxon rank sum test with continuity correction: W = 723; p < 0.0004) and as well as in relation to people with vitiligo (Wilcoxon rank sum test with continuity correction: W = 206; p < 0.0004).
