Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how salivary small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) can help diagnose sports-related concussions in professional rugby players.
- Saliva samples were collected from over 1,000 players during head injury assessments, identifying 32 sncRNAs that were significantly different between concussed and non-concussed players, with a set of 14 sncRNAs showing strong diagnostic accuracy.
- The research confirmed that specific salivary sncRNAs can serve as reliable biomarkers for concussion diagnosis, emphasizing the potential for non-invasive testing in sports.
