FIG 1.

Hierarchical clustering of circulating microRNAs (miR) between tuberculosis (TB) patients and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) controls. Red indicates high relative expression and blue indicates low relative expression. Horizontal axis represents each sample: the left 20 are TB patients and the right 20 are LTBI subjects. TB cases are indicated by red rectangles, LTBI controls are indicated by blue rectangles. Expression levels of hsa-miR-197-5p, hsa-miR-671-5p, hsa-miR-6760-3p, and hsa-miR-642a-3p were higher, while those of hsa-miR-16-5p and hsa-miR-451a were lower.
