Salivary microRNA: Discovery, Characterization, and Clinical Utility for Oral Cancer Detection
26 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We have previously shown that a transcriptome is found in saliva and subpanels of these mRNAs can be used as oral cancer biomarkers. In this study, we measured the presence of microRNAs (miRNA) in saliva and determined their potential as an additional set of oral cancer biomarkers. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A total of 314 miRNAs were measured using reverse transcriptase-preamplification-quantitative PCR in 12...
