Circulating microRNAs as minimal residual disease biomarkers in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Background Treatment stratification based on bone marrow minimal residual disease (MRD) at set time points has resulted in considerably improved survival in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Treatment response is assessed using bone marrow samples. MicroRNAs (miRs) easily traffic among fluid spaces and are more stable than most other RNA classes. We examined the role of circulating miRs as...
