Results in ER+ and ER− breast tumors are expressed as the median (range) of miRNA level relative to normal breast tissues. For each miRNA, we report the fold-change (FC) between ER+ or ER− breast tumors and normal breast tissue and the p-value associated to Mann-Whitney’s test (ns for not significant)
