For Novel Disease Diagnostic Markers in Blood RNA
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Diagnostic Methods - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
For early detection of cancer or other serious diseases, we continue to develop diagnosis approach as a major clinical duty. Diagnosis using bodily fluids such as blood, urine, saliva is low and non-invasive and can be the first option. Especially, blood is accepted as clinical diagnostics and contains huge kinds of disease markers. While we use proteins and metabolites as those markers, RNA also can be those for next generations. RNA contains a huge amount of information on messenger RNA and non-coding functional RNAs which regulate gene expressions. The latter is now strongly counted on.
