From: microRNA-21 expressions impact on liver fibrosis in biliary atresia patients
Biliary atresia (ΔCT ± SD) | Control (ΔCT ± SD) | ΔΔCT (95% CI) | Fold change (2−ΔΔCT) | p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
miRNA-21 | − 4.4 ± 4.0 | − 0.2 ± 4.8 | − 4.2 [− 8.2 to − 0.2] | 18 | 0.041* |
PTEN | 0.2 ± 1.4 | − 1.4 ± 1.7 | 1.6 (0.2 to 3.0) | 3.1 | 0.036* |
α-SMA | 13.7 ± 3.8 | 15.0 ± 4.8 | –1.4 (− 5.3 to 2.5) | 2.6 | 0.87 |
