Of the 16 reliably detected miRNAs, 3 (miR-15b, -132, and -652) showed a nominally significant increase in expression in the high-risk subjects compared to the control subjects (miR-15b, FC = 1.29; miR-132, FC = 1.34; miR-652, FC = 1.26).
MiR-4286 was significantly increased after Tukey correction in SC compared to both LR and controls in untreated LCLs, while miR-186-5p was significantly decreased in SC compared to LR and on the borderline of significance of being decreased in SC compared to controls in lithium-treated LCLs.
