One aspect relates to a composition, a kit, and a method for detecting or isolating nucleic acids using the same. By using the composition, kit, and method for detecting or isolating nucleic acids according to one aspect, high-concentration and high-purity nucleic acids can be detected or isolated rapidly, simply, and accurately at low cost without
electricity and special equipment, such as
centrifugation, vacuum pumps, and heat controllers, used in conventional column and bead-based methods. Furthermore, by using the composition according to one aspect to detect or isolate one or more nucleic acids selected from the group consisting of miR-141-3p, miR-375-3P, miR-483-5P, and miR-574-3P,
prostate cancer (PCa) in patients with benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH) can be diagnosed rapidly, precisely, and early, and infectious diseases can be diagnosed rapidly, precisely, and early by detecting or isolating nucleic acids derived from microorganisms that cause infectious diseases.
