Brief Description

Description :

The technology relates to biomarkers useful for detection of types, grades and stages of human breast cancer. This invention particularly relates to the development of these identified biomarkers as a microRNA (miRNA) chip for the early and accurate diagnosis of human breast cancer. The miRNAs could be used as a diagnostic kit (miRNA chip) for early and accurate detection of breast cancer grades, stages and subtypes. Few to hundreds of samples can be checked within a span of 2 to 3 hrs and hence this becomes an easy, fast, robust and high throughput technology for screening program for early detection of breast cancer.
