Correlation of serum miR 21 to age; tumor size and biochemical and molecular investigations revealed that miR 21 was directly correlated to α-fetoprotein (P = 0.006, significant); HDL (p < 0.0001, highly significant); miR -199 was inversely correlated to α-fetoprotein (P = 0.009, significant); miRNA 155 as directly correlated to α-fetoprotein (p = 0.001, significant) and serum total bilirubin (p = 0.037, significant).
