Underexpressed miRNAs in TB sputum.

Column “Name” contained the name of miRNA; Column “TB patients versus control” contained level ratio of TB/control; Column “Chromosome” meant distribution of each miRNA on chromosome.Each miRNA spot was replicated for four times on the same slide and two microarray chips were used for each group. After normalization, obtained average values for each miRNA spot were used for statistics. The P values for these miRNAs were less than 0.05 in TB group compared with controls.
