Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-6786-5p was significantly increased in serum following recreational alcohol consumption, with a 3.27-fold increase, and was identified as a potential biomarker for alcohol exposure [Ten Berg et al. DOI:10.1080/1354750X.2018.1499128]. In a separate human study of sepsis patients versus healthy controls, the mir-6786-5p was identified as a differentially expressed microRNA that was downregulated in the peripheral blood of the patient cohort [Xu et al. DOI:10.3892/mmr.2022.12850].
