Hepatitis C virus (genotype-3) causes acute and chronic hepatitis infection predomination in India. The infectious phase of the virus requires various host factors for its survival and subsequent viral particle production. Small RNA molecules like microRNA-122 (miR-122) are one such factor mostly present in the liver and play a supportive role in viral replication.<jats:italic>Objective<\/jats:italic>. In this study, diagnostic potential of miR-122 is evaluated in the sera of chronic hepatitis C patients.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. miRNAs were isolated from the sera samples of patients as well as controls and miR-122 expression was quantified by real-time PCR.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. A significant augmentation was observed in the level of circulating miR-122 (median level, 0.66 versus 0.29,<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.001<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>) in patients compared to controls with ROC value of<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\"><mml:mn>0.929<\/mml:mn><mml:mo>\u00b1<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.034<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>(<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M3\"><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>&lt;<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.001<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>).
