Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and psychiatric control (PC) participants were in-patients at The Menninger Clinic, Houston, Texas. A Cell-free circulating miRNA levels were quantified, showing that miR-124-3p was significantly higher in the BPD group than in the PC (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, p = 0.034). B When comparing globus pallidus (GP) Left volume between BPD, PC, and healthy controls (HC), we found a significantly smaller volume in the left GP, which survived Bonferroni in the BPD group compared to PC (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, p < 0.0001). We were only interested in quantifying the BPD vs. PC comparison, the HC are shown only for visual comparison.
