Figure 4.

The expression levels of miR‐129‐2‐3p and SYK gene in IS patients and control volunteers. (A) miR‐129‐2‐3p expression was detected in the whole blood of 270 ischaemic stroke patients and 270 control volunteers. The relative expression levels were normalized to U6 and then log‐transformed. (B) The expression levels of SYK gene were detected in the whole blood of 60 ischaemic stroke patients and 60 control volunteers. The relative expression levels were normalized to beta‐actin and then log‐transformed. The whiskers of the plots represent the 5‐95 percentiles. Comparison of gene expression between the two groups of cohorts was analysed by the Student's t test
