Barplots detailing intensity values recorded for particular miRNAs that exhibited significant expression variations.

<p>Only one typical result each is shown for blood and tissue. In the two panels on the left, the intensity values of miR-320a in blood samples are presented. The two panels to the right show the values of miRNA-103 as recorded in tissue samples. The horizontal lines in each panel represent the respective median.</p

ROC curves calculated on the basis of the miRNA measurements.

<p>Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are a widely accepted indicator of diagnostic utility. Measure of accuracy is the corresponding area under the ROC curve, denoted as AUC. It ranges in value from 0.5 (chance) to 1.0 (perfect discrimination).</p
