LEVELS OF MICRORNA-21 FOR THE GLIOMAS DIAGNOSTICS
This investigation is devoted to the search for new biomarkers of malignant tumors of the brain. Levels of gene expression of microRNA-21 were profiled in blood plasma in patients with glioma at stage of progression and in healthy volunteers by real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). A statistically significant excess of the levels of expression of the gene under study in patients with glioma compared with healthy volunteers. On the basis of the data suggested the development of molecular diagnosics of glioma.
