Relative to fecal immunochemical testing, the multitarget stool RNA test ColoSense showed a significant improvement in sensitivity for colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas.

ColoSense, which had breakthrough device designation by the FDA , detects colorectal neoplasia–associated RNA markers and the presence of occult hemoglobin in human stool.

The FDA approval was based on results of the CRC-PREVENT trial, which evaluated the ColoSense mt-sRNA test in a diverse group of adults undergoing colonoscopy. Among all average-risk individuals, the sensitivity of the mt-sRNA test was 93% for CRC, 100% for early CRC, and 45% for advanced adenomas. In a subgroup of those aged 45-49 years, the sensitivity was 100% for CRC and 44% for advanced adenomas.

Researchers reveal mechanism behind most common mammalian mRNA modificationRNA—in the form of messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA)—transforms the genome coded by DNA into proteins that form the backbone of all cellular functions. However, biochemical modifications to RNA frequently occur, with a subsequent influence on gene expression and the potential to cause disease.
