Abstract
Due to availability of bone marrow core biopsies (CB) in many pathology laboratories, we evaluated the quality and the biological information of the miRNA profiling using 9 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 9 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) matched CB and bone marrow aspirates (BA). Technical replicates showed reproducible results across platforms and clustered together in hierarchical clustering analysis; and matched samples showed similar biological content having common differentially expressed miRNAs against the same control samples. We showed, that CBs, which have underwent decalcification in addition to formalin-fixation, are suitable for miRNA profiling.
