Validation of the miRNA signatures in children population: comparison of hsa-let-7a (a), hsa-let-7b (b) and hsa-miR-486 (c) expression between children with CHD (n = 26) and healthy controls (n = 27). CHD phenotype is further stratified into ASD (n = 12), VSD (n = 8) and AVSD (n = 6) in comparison with the controls. Box and whisker plots represent median with 10th and 90th centiles. miRNA microRNA, CHD congenital heart defects, ASD atrial septal defects, VSD ventricular septal defects, AVSD atrioventricular septal defects
