Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the differential expression of salivary microRNA-21 in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) patients compared to healthy controls, establishing its potential as a non-invasive diagnostic biomarker.Timepoint: Baseline (1–6 Months):Collect unstimulated saliva samples from PCOS patients and controls. 7th Month: Week 1: Extract microRNA. Week 2: Quantify and qualify microRNA. Week 3: Prepare microRNA-21 and RNU6 primers. Week 4: Convert RNA to cDNA. 8th Month: Week 1: Perform RT-qPCR for microRNA-21 expression. Weeks 2 and 3: Conduct statistical and ROC curve analysis to evaluate diagnostic potential.
