Forensic Context

A study in rhesus macaques demonstrated that the mir-627 was identified as a circulating miRNA whose relative abundance at day 2 post-total-body irradiation correlated with the time to severe neutropenia, forming part of an 11-miRNA panel for predicting this hematopoietic injury [Rogers et al. DOI:10.1667/RADE-21-00043.1]. In a separate investigation in the same species, the mir-627 was utilized as a feature in a four-group survival prediction model developed from serum samples at day 3 post whole thorax irradiation [May et al. DOI:10.1038/s41598-022-16316-x].
