  1. Confidence score (CS) for miRNA-disease association range from 0.110 to 0.975. Confidence score ranges between 0 and 1; and only well-supported miRNA–disease associations obtain a value close to 1. Class denotes the evidence type for each miRNA-disease association with S representing strong experimental evidence, W representing weak experimental evidence, and P representing prediction evidence; MNDR (Mammalian NcRNA-Disease Repository).
