Comparison of microRNA expression profiles of Kashin-Beck disease, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a chronic osteochondropathy with unclear pathogeny. In this study, we compared the microRNA expression profiles of 16 KBD patients, 16 osteoarthritis (OA) patients and 16 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and 16 healthy controls in their blood specimens. miRNAs...
