The Value of Signal Peptide-CUB-EGF Domain-containing Protein-1 (SCUBE1) in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism: A Preliminary Study

Abstract

This preliminary study suggests that plasma SCUBE1 values have a good level of specificity for PE and may be of use in the diagnosis of PE. Further studies involving larger case series and also clinical studies are needed to corroborate these findings.
