Differentially expressed miRNAs were identified, and functional pathway analysis was conducted using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). The correlations between miRNA expression and clinical variables, including glaucoma severity, endothelial cell counts (ECCs) and systemic factors identified in serum blood tests, were also examined.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using a panel of 827 miRNAs, 23 upregulated miRNAs in PXSG were identified, miRNA-(miR-)887\u20133\u2009p and miR-933 exhibiting the highest differential expression. The KEGG highlighted enrichment in pathways related to ageing and signal transduction. Elevated levels of several miRNAs, miR-933 and miR-302a-3p, were linked to worse visual field (VF) and thinner peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (pRNFLT). Multivariate regression analysis identified associations of miR-302a-3p with lower ECC, miR-302f with thinner pRNFLT and miR-614 with higher triglyceride levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study indicates potential differences in miRNA expression between PXSG and PXSWG, with several showing suggestive associations with key clinical parameters.
