Table 4. Fisher’s exact test reveals that significantly correlated pairs of miRNA and mRNA are ∼11% less likely to have known interactions when the mRNA has a significant eQTL (odds ratio 0.889, 95% CI 0.81–0.98, P = 0.02).

Fisher’s exact test did not show significant associations between known interactions and cis vs. trans mapping, P = 0.15.
