C-RNA levels and birth weight. Angiogenic marker levels were measured by qRT-PCR in preterm infants with a birth weights ranging from 724–2160 grams described under "Materials and Methods". Pearson correlation was used to assess the correlation of different angiogenic markers and BW. 5 distinctive markers were examined: Tie2, AC133, SCL,, VEGF, FLK. The figure depicts the measured RQ for each of the markers measured at 3–5 days after birth in comparison to BW (grams).
