“…Correlation coefficients (Spearman, Kendall, and Pearson) between miRNA expressions and neurological endpoints were analyzed for 68 of the 72 biomarkers, involving in total 5451 IS patients, 81 TIA patients, and 3700 controls. The expression of 10 miRNAs (miR-195, -497, -21, -132, -29b, -24, -409-3p, -135b, -185, and -424) were very strongly correlated with neurological outcome [50,51,58,69,75,80,83,87], whereas the levels of 25 miRNAs had a strong correlation with stroke recovery scores. No statistical significance was obtained for 17 miRNAs.…”
