Validation of microRNA (miRNA) microarray data by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction.
The microarray cohort included 30 individuals with coronary artery calcification (CAC) and 40 controls without coronary artery calcification (non-CAC). The relative levels of miRNAs were normalized to levels of the control (cel-miR-39). The P values were calculated by 2-tailed Student t test.
