Differential expression of plasma microRNA‐125b in hepatitis B virus‐related liver diseases and diagnostic potential for hepatitis B virus‐induced hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract

The measurement of plasma-based miR-125b holds promise as a diagnostic marker for HBV-HCC differential diagnosis and for chronic HBV viral infection. Those HBV-infected individuals with increased risk of HCC would be detected early through monitoring the changes in this circulating miRNA.
