Study of microRNAs as Potential Biomarkers of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Introduction - microRNAs (miRs) are small and non-coding RNA molecules that are involved in different biological processes(1). Due to their stability and their presence in biofluids, several investigations have been focused on the use of miRs as biomarkers of different pathologies(2). At this work we tried to identify circulating miRs differentially expressed in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and healthy donors that could be used as potential biomarkers.
