MiRNA profiles in blood plasma from mother-child duos in human biobanks and the implication of sample quality: Circulating miRNAs as potential early markers of child health

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been linked to several diseases and to regulation of almost every biological process. This together with their stability while freely circulating in blood suggests that they could serve as minimal-invasive biomarkers for a wide range of diseases. Successful miRNA-based biomarker discovery in plasma is dependent on controlling sources of preanalytical variation, such as cellular...
