Figure 1.

Identification of miRNAs showing correlation with the percentage of hepatic steatosis. Human liver samples from two cohorts of patients were analyzed by miRNAseq. The normalized number of reads was correlated with the % of liver steatosis as assessed by different linear methods. (A) Volcano plots showing miRNAs with an association of r ≥ 0.34 and p-value ≤ 0.1 as red dots. (Left and middle plots) liver samples from morbidly obese BS patients. (Right plot) liver samples from liver biobank cohort. (B) Venn diagram displaying the 35 miRNAs showing correlation with the % of steatosis in the two cohorts of patients.
