Molecular Biomarkers: Enabling Predictive and Personalized Medicine
Molecular biomarkers are measurable biological indicators such as fragments of DNA, RNA, proteins, or metabolites that reveal the presence, risk, or progression of disease. They are revolutionizing modern healthcare by enabling earlier detection, precise diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and tailored therapies
What Is a Molecular Biomarker?
A molecular biomarker is a biological molecule found in blood, urine, tissues, or other body fluids that can signal:
-
Disease Research (infection, metabolic disorders)
- Response to therapy (effectiveness or resistance)
Types of Molecular Biomarkers
Biomarker Type | Example | Clinical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) | BRCA1/2 mutations | Detect breast or prostate cancer risk |
| microRNAs (miRNAs) | miR-21, miR-141 | Early markers of cancer and heart disease |
| Specific proteins | PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) | Monitoring prostate cancer |
| Metabolites | Glucose, lactate | Indicators of diabetes or cellular stress |
Technologies Used for Detection
Advanced technologies enable the sensitive and specific detection of biomarkers:
- Quantitative PCR (qPCR, RT-PCR)
- Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)
- Immunoassays (ELISA)
- Mass spectrometry
- Miniaturized biosensors
