This invention relates to the application of SNORD15A from
urinary sediment as a biomarker for early tumors, belonging to the biomedical field. The biomarker is selected from
urinary sediment SNORD15A; the kit includes a reverse transcription
reaction system, a quantitative real-time PCR
reaction system, and an internal
control system. Studies have found that SNORD15A is significantly upregulated in
renal cell carcinoma patients, especially those with early-stage
renal cell carcinoma, in TCGA databases, paraffin-embedded samples (FFPE), and
urinary sediment compared to the control group, and the difference is statistically significant. Furthermore, SNORD15A is stable in urinary
sediment and is not easily degraded by enzymes, making it a
potential biomarker for the diagnosis and early diagnosis of
renal cell carcinoma.
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves show that SNORD15A has a diagnostic
efficacy (AUC) of 0.7432 for renal
cell carcinoma, a sensitivity of 61.8%, and a specificity of 79%; and a diagnostic
efficacy (AUC) of 0.7441 for early-stage renal
cell carcinoma, with a sensitivity of 54.2% and a specificity of 87.7%, confirming the potential of SNORD15A as a novel non-invasive biomarker for the diagnosis and early diagnosis of renal
cell carcinoma.
