Abstract
The present study demonstrates that blood samples can be used as a source of miRNA identification associated to Parkinson's disease (PD). A set of six differentially expressed microRNAs were identified. They form two groups according to their expression profile in control, non-treated, early-onset and treated Parkinson's disease subjects. While miR-1, miR-22* and miR-29 expression levels allowed to distinguish non-treated PD from healthy subjects, miR-16-2*, miR-26a2* and miR30a differentiated treated from untreated patients. This study is innovative in contributing to the development of effective PD biomarkers.Entities:
