Breast Cancer
Data on breast cancer reported by researchers at Middle East Technical University
April 16th, 2009
According to recent research published in the journal Cancer Genetics and Cytogenetics, "Various regions of amplification or loss are observed in breast tumors as a manifestation of genomic instability. To date, numerous oncogenes or tumor suppressors on some of these regions have been characterized." "An increasing body of evidence suggests that such regions also harbor microRNA genes with crucial regulatory roles in cellular processes and disease mechanisms, including cancer. Here, we investigated 35 microRNAs localized to common genomic gain and/or loss regions in breast cancers. To examine amplification or loss of these microRNAs as a result of genomic...
