mRNA Biomarkers in Dried Blood Spots May Improve Detection of Autologous Blood Micro‐Transfusions Using an Individualized Approach

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
This study shows that measuring ALAS2 mRNA expression from dried blood spots (DBS) can sensitively identify autologous blood micro‐transfusions (ABMTs) ABMTs with > 95% sensitivity and specificity through individualized analysis. These results highlight ALAS2 mRNA in DBS as a promising tool to strengthen anti‐doping efforts against small‐volume ...
