Abstract
Glioma is the most common malignant intracranial tumour. Recently, several publications have suggested that miRNAs can be used as potential diagnostic biomarkers of glioma. Here we performed a meta-analysis to identify the diagnostic accuracy of differentially expressed circulating miRNAs in gliomas. Using PubMed, Medline and Cochrane databases, we searched for studies which evaluated a single or panel of miRNAs from circulating blood as potential biomarkers of glioma. Sixteen publications involving 23 studies of miRNAs from serum or plasma met our criteria and were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled diagnostic parameters were calculated by random effect models and overall diagnostic..
