MicroRNA-10a, -210 and -563 as circulating biomarkers for Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament

The presence of ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) can lead to symptomatic spinal cord compression and myelopathy. The surgical approach in patients with myelopathy is influenced by the presence of OPLL. Diagnose of OPLL currently requires computed tomography which incurs a large dose of radiation. Circulating disease-specific microRNAs (miRNAs) may serve as promising diagnostic markers with no radiation and easy accessibility for OPLL patients.
