Stability values of candidate reference genes for Australian cohort as determined by Normfinder and geNorm. Expression levels of 12 miRNAs in the plasma of newly diagnosed TB patients (n = 12) and healthy and latent controls (n = 24) were subject to a Levene’s test which determined there was no significant variance between any of the groups. The 12 miRNAs were then ranked by Normfinder and geNorm. Greater expression stability is indicated by a lower stability value (M) (geNorm). Low standard deviation (SD) values indicate stable gene expression (Normfinder).
