From: Identification of circulating microRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers for use in multiple myeloma
The levels of miR-720 (A) and miR-1308 (B) do not correlate with the level of paraprotein (M-component) in the blood. The level of miR-1246 (C) shows slight negative correlation with the paraprotein level. Paraprotein levels were only available for the MGUS and myeloma groups and were measured as either IgG or IgA. Spearman’s rank correlation was used to identify correlation between miRNA levels and paraprotein levels.
