According to previous research microRNA (miR) are expressed differently in corticotropinoma and ACTH-secreting neuroendocrine tumors. MiR are released into circulation by several mechanisms and considered to be promising biomarkers.Objective: To evaluate whether preselected miR are differently expressed in plasma samples of patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing’s syndrome (CS).Materials and methods: The blood samples were colle...
