Figure 2. Correlation between miRNA levels and baseline platelet count in a case-control study of PAD utilizing archived plasma.

(A) Among 41 samples for which platelet count was available, a significant positive correlation was observed between platelet count and miRNA level. The relationship between platelet count and miR-425 is depicted (left), and the correlation coefficient (R) and P-value for miRNAs measured in the validation cohort can be found in the table (right). (B) Platelet count did not differ between cases and controls (bottom).
