Abstract

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is the most common type of traumatic brain injury. However, the mTBI is underdiagnosed and underreported due to delayed onset of symptoms and the conventional subjective assessment. Recent findings suggest that salivary miRNA could be biomarkers for mTBI diagnosis. However, detecting and differentiating miRNAs are challenging due to the short length and high homogeneity. We developed a nanopore coupled rolling circle amplification (RCA) method to identify and quantify mTBI-related miRNAs. We believe this platform could be further developed for the clinical diagnosis of mTBI.
