ObjectiveTo investigate the role of serum microRNA-29 (miR-29) as a biomarker for the prediction of disease progression in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.MethodsUsing real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay, serum miR-29a, miR-29b and miR-29c levels were measured in patients with chronic HBV infection, and the correlation between serum miR-29 levels and the participants' liver biochemistry, fibrotic stage and necroinflammation grade were also evaluated.ResultsAltogether 91 patients with chronic HBV infection were divided by fibrotic stage into S0/1 (no or mild fibrosis), S2/3 (progressive fibrosis) and S4 (cirrhosis) subgroups, and 12 healthy individuals were also included in the study. Serum miR-29a and miR-29c in S0-3 were significantly higher than those in S4 patients (P0.05). miR-29a-c showed significant correlation with alanine transaminase levels (P
