Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary  

Serum samples will be collected from study participants attending Gastroenterology OPD at Kasturba Medical College, a tertiary care hospital under Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE). Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) samples of hepatocellular carcinoma will also be procured from Department of Pathology. Virology workup will be carried out at the Manipal Institute of Virology under the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE). We will be screening serum samples of HBV positive carriers (controls), HBV positive cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma cases with HBV positivity (Anti HBcAg positive) or without HBV association for 13 microRNAs (let-7e, miR-15a, miR-16, miR-21, miR-26b, miR-29b-3p, miR-126, miR-142-3p, miR-146b, miR-193a-5p, miR122, miR223, miR-192).
