Background: Y-RNAs are small noncoding RNAs firstly identified in patients suffering the Sjogren’s syndrome and lupus erythematosus, having different predicted cellular functions. Y-RNAs are very abundant ncRNAs present in serum and only a few is known respect their molecular roles.
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the circulating Y-RNAs expression from blood serum of pediatric patients with pilocytic or diffuse astrocytoma.
Materials and methods: Y-RNAs expression was determined by means of the Human Transcriptome Array (HTA) 2.0 arrays. In addition, a bioinformatic approximation of the possible biological functions of Y-RNAs was determined with the Random Forest (RF) and Vector Support Machine (VSM) algorithms.
Results: Data showed a differential expression of RN.. View More»
