The Expression of mRNA/miRNA is also altered in the peripheral blood of patients. a QRT-PCR based quantification of mRNAs of a proposed biomarker panel in peripheral blood of patients and comparison with healthy control. b QRT-PCR based quantification of identified miRNA-mRNA interaction pairs in peripheral blood of patients and comparison with healthy control. GAPDH mRNA was used for normalization. n = 13 (8 patients; 5 healthy control); Error bar indicates standard error mean. The student's t-test was performed independently for each gene between healthy peripheral blood samples and patients’ peripheral blood samples. p = non-significant
