A master’s thesis at the College of Science at the University of Karbala discussed investigating the role of (miRNA) as a biomarker in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis and its association with some physiological signs.
The study, presented by student Ahmed Jawad Hassan, aimed to understand the role of microRNA as a biomarker in arthritis patients and the extent of its relationship to some physiological indicators.
The study concluded that dysregulation of miR-146a plays a role in impaired cell function in the development of rheumatoid arthritis and exacerbation of joint damage, and that miR-146a could be used as a potential non-invasive and sensitive diagnostic marker for the diagnosis and screening of rheumatoid arthritis.
