  1. In these analyses, the dependent variable is the normalized miR expression change between the time points compared, all measured in PB PFP. Fold change indicates change in the normalized miR expression between the two time points, the median of these values are provided. Pearson’s r indicates the correlation between the dependent and the independent variables. Adjusted p refers to the statistical significance of the Pearson’s correlation
  2. aNormal karyotype: no alteration on FISH, DNA index diploid and cytogenetics normal or unsuccessful
