From: Three miRNAs cooperate with host genes involved in human cardiovascular disease
Targets of the intronic miRNAs show functional correlation to the CVD genes. a Venn diagram showing the number of overlapping between genes in association with the host gene and the targets of the intronic miRNA predicted by TargetScan and miRDB. b Box plots represent the ranked NetWAS scores underlying the degree of the association between the CVD gene and all the genes interacting with the host gene, and the degree of the association between the CVD gene and the predicted targets of its intronic miRNAs. Validated targets are represented by red triangle. Wilcoxon’s signed rank test is used to test the significance of differences between targets and all genes interacting with the host gene. *P < 0.05, **P < 10−5, ***P < 10−10
