• The infertility could be the first subclinical manifestation
• Functional study of the human microbiota as a key factor in diseasesand Reproductive Health

Profile Comparison
Functional analysis
Difference between analysis based on
homologies in METAGENOMICS by functional analysis
Lower costMore scalable
Results inless time
Clinical impactand accurate

• But these do not differentiate between live and functional microbiome
• Much less offer precise treatment with clinical impact
"Master Switches"
Effectively regulate and coordinate multiple cell pathways and processes by coordinating the expression of multiple genes in multiple pathologies
Technology
Taqman probes + real-time PCRHigh sensitivity and specificityAvailable in any medium-high complexity laboratory
Advantage
Evaluate gene expressionReproducible resultsHigh tissue specificity among individualsHigh stability in serum and plasma
microRNAs?

MicroRNAs can be used as non-invasive
diagnostic molecular biomarkers associated
