Serum levels and ROC curve analyzes of the 7 upregulated hcmv-miRNAs in the autoimmune disease patient subgroup. a hcmv-miR-US25-2-3p; b hcmv-miR-US4-5p; c hcmv-miR-US25-2-5p; d hcmv-miR-US25-1-3p; e hcmv-miR-US25-1; f hcmv-miR-UL36; g hcmv-miR-UL148D; h ROC analysis of the 7 upregulated hcmv-miRNAs in the autoimmune disease patients. Areas under ROC curve (AUCs) ranged from 0.72 to 0.80. Cq values were converted to relative concentrations normalized to MIR2911 values and were calculated using the comparative Cq method (2−ΔCq). Each point represents the mean of triplicate sample. ✻, indicates that compared with the control group, P < 0.05; ✻✻, indicates that compared with the control group, P < 0.01
