Folate status, folate-related genes and serum miR-21 expression: Implications for miR-21 as a biomarker
7 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Free circulating microRNA (miRNA) in serum may be valuable biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis. miR-21, the archetypal oncogenic miRNA, has been proposed as a biomarker for colorectal cancer and its benign precursor, adenomatous polyps. However, it is now becoming clear that circulating miRNA profiles may be sensitive to lifestyle and environmental influences. Dietary components involved in...
