METHOD FOR DETECTING BENIGN AND MALIGNANT NEW GROWTHS OF HUMAN THYROID Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01N33/68 G01N33/574 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention aims at detecting benign and malignant new growths in human thyroid. Involved thyroid and reference adjacent intact tissues are sampled; micro-RNA is recovered from the samples; that is followed by conducting a reverse transcription reaction, measuring an expression level of microRNA-21, -221, -222, -155, -205 by real-time RNA followed by a comparative analysis of the microRNA expression according to the norm and thyroid tumour involvement, and stating the presence and type of the new growth. If the above microRNA expression varies by no more than 4 times to the higher and lower figures of expression in relation to the reference, the benign new growth is stated. The malignant new growth is shown by the measured microRNA expression by more than 4 times.

EFFECT: effective detection of the benign and malignant thyroid new growths that promotes improving the further therapeutic approach.
