Therefore, relative expression of putative target genes of the microRNA under investigation, EZH2, ABCA1, DNMT3A and RIP140 were evaluated against the expression of GAPDH as a reference gene at admission within 4 days from fever onset, in samples collected from DF (n = 20) patients and those who later developed SD (n = 20). The gene discussed is DNMT3A; the disease is dengue disease.
