Effects of hemolysis on plasma miRNA expression profiles. Risk of hemolysis was found to be higher with increasing blood holding time. Correlation between plasma miRNAs and hemolysis was assessed. The Cq values of four miRNAs demonstrated positive correlation with hemolysis (A) and Cq values of two miRNAs demonstrated negative correlation with hemolysis (B). Venn diagram showing the number of miRNAs whose expression is affected by whole blood holding time prior to plasma processing and/or level of hemolysis (C).
