Biomarkers of colorectal polyps from at-home collected dried blood spots
Pre-cancer, colorectal polyp, biomarker discovery using novel sample preparation and MS from at-home collected blood in Mitra.
Sangui Bio is conducting a colorectal polyp study to identify biomarkers that predict large pre-cancerous polyps. 1400 at-home blood samples have been collected using Mitra. The highest risk group in terms of progression to cancer is those with polyps 10 mm or larger. The control group is defined as polyps 5 mm or smaller, including cases with no detected polyps. The blood samples were analyzed using novel sample preparation and MS. Over 2500 proteins were identified and quantified from each sample and several hundred proteins are significantly different.
Of particular interest for proteomics scientists, biomarker scientists, and all interested in patient centric microsampling.
What you will learn
- Novel sample preparation of whole blood from Mitra
