Relative quantification of deregulated microRNAs in the independent validation cohort.

<p>Expression of deregulated miRNAs was evaluated in the validation cohort. MicroRNA expression levels were determined in tumor and paired normal lung tissue of lung cancer patients and relative expression by histological subtype was assessed. Median ΔΔCt values were determined in nine miRNAs in patients with adenocarcinoma versus SCC. Data derived from RT-qPCR are presented as 2^−ΔΔCt values. <i>P</i> value below 0.05 was considered significant.
