Levels of miR-720 (A), miR-1308 (B) and miR-1246 (C) do not correlate strongly with age. Spearman’s rank correlation was used to identify any correlation between miRNA level and age. Any significant correlations were very weak, and significance is lost after correction for multiple significance tests (Bonferroni method). Levels of miR-720 (D), miR-1308 (E) and miR-1246 (F) are not affected by sex. All patients were grouped by sex, and a Mann–Whitney test was used to compare the groups. Graphs show median with interquartile range. n=37 for male and n=34 for female.
