cardiometabolic risk. There are scientific evidences suggesting a potential role of circulating miRNAs detection as useful
source of diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers in obese and diabetic patients. Major limits: number,
duration and sample size of clinical studies are small; source of circulating miRNAs, extraction procedures, quantities
of blood samples and methods of analysis, as well as promiscuous nature of miRNAs targets, difficulties of obtaining
tissue specificity and, in particular, high costs required for miRNAs detection may contribute to the uncertainty observed
in the literature, highlighting the need for reproducible and well standardized methods. Moreover, low-cost and wide
availability assays to detect circulating miRNAs with high sensitivity/specificity should be developed.Large, long-term and
randomized controlled clinical studies are need to determine whether circulating miRNAs could play a role as biomarkers
for obesity and diabetes in daily clinical practice.
