miR-29c-3p is an Effective Biomarker of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is usually asymptomatic and mostly diagnosed incidentally. Aortic dilatation progresses along with the wall weakening and eventually leads to a life-threatening rupture. Currently, there are no effective screening biomarkers for AAA. MicroRNAs, a class of small noncoding RNA molecules, offer great potential as biomarkers because of their stability in the bloodstream and expression profile specific for …
