From: Circulating microRNAs as blood-based markers for patients with primary and metastatic breast cancer
Levels of total RNA and miRs in blood of breast cancer patients and healthy controls. The box plot and the additionally integrated box plot of miR141 show the different, relative amounts of total RNA, miR10b, miR34a, miR141 and miR155 which circulate in blood of healthy individuals (n = 29), M0 patients (n = 59) and M1 patients (n = 30). The relative transcript levels of miRs were determined by the low cycle threshold (Ct) values. As determined by Mann and Whitney-U test, the significant P-values of the statistical evaluations of serum RNA and miR levels are indicated above the blots.
