Circulating microRNA expression pattern separates patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis from healthy controls.

Abstract

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis (AAV) has an unpredictable course and better biomarkers are needed. Micro-RNAs in body fluids are protected from degradation and might be used as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis, here we explore the potential in AAV
