Figure 1 Confirmed differential expression of miRNAs between euploid and aneuploid embryos by qPCR after normalization to the control probe, snRNA U6, which was consistently expressed in all samples. The vertical axis represents the fold change of the miRNA between the two experimental groups. Error bars represent mean ± SEM; significant fold changes are marked by * (P<.01) and ** (P<.05).

Figure 2 Top 20 gene pathways targeted by miRNAs 27b, 141, 339-3p, and 345 predicted by Diana Lab mirPath database and Targetscan 5 web-based software. The vertical bars within each column represent the number of genes targeted by each miRNA within known pathways. The leftmost (blue) vertical bar within each column represents the total number of genes targeted by all four miRNAs in each pathway.
