Abstract PR001: Assessing differences in miRNA profiles by race and ethnicity: Implications for creating an equitable ovarian cancer early detection test
Abstract:Introduction: Assessing serum micro RNA (miRNA) profiles is an emerging technique for earlier detection of ovarian cancer. A panel of miRNAs for ovarian cancer prediction has been proposed, but it is unknown whether race and ethnicity may influence their expression. The goal of this study was to determine how race affects expression of miRNAs associated with ovarian cancer risk to ensure creation of an equitable test. Methods: Serum samples from 1586 women from the Mass General Brigham BioBank were analyzed fo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
