MicroRNAs miR-371-3 in serum as diagnostic tools in the management of testicular germ cell tumours
11 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: miRNAs are small noncoding RNA molecules that can be released into body fluids. Germ cell tumours (GCTs) overexpress miRNAs of the miR-371-3 cluster. Thus, serum levels of these miRNAs may correlate with tumour load. METHODS: miRNAs of the miR-371-3 cluster were quantified in cubital vein blood samples of 20 GCT patients with clinical stage 1, and of 4 patients with advanced stages before and after...
