Specific serum miRNA profiles are strongly related to bone pathologies. Therefore miRNAs might be directly linked to bone tissue homeostasis. In particular, miR-29b-3p has previously been reported as regulator of osteogenic differentiation and could serve as a novel marker of bone turnover in osteoporotic patients as a member of a miRNA signature.
A set of 19 miRNAs was differentially regulated in all subjects with low-traumatic fractures. miRNAs were excellent discriminators of patients with fractures, regardless of age and gender.
