Assessment of circulating levels of microRNA-326, microRNA-424, and microRNA-511 as biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma in Egyptians

Table 3 Studied miRNAs in healthy controls vs hepatocellular carcinoma

	Controls	HCC patients	P value
	N = 25	N = 70
miRNA-326	1.2 (0.3- 30.8)	35.0 (12.5- 162.3)	0.001b
miRNA-511	2.1 (0.9- 7.7)	1.2 (0.3- 3.2)	0.02a
miRNA-424	6.1 (0.7- 12.4)	5.1 (2.9- 10.3)	0.4

Studied miRNAs are represented as median with interquartile range (25% -75%), the data were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test. HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma.

^aP value < 0.05 is significant.

^bP value < 0.01 is highly significant.
