Abstract excerpt
For the majority of breast and/or ovarian cancer patients tested for BRCA1/2 genes, mutation screening of the coding regions remains negative. MicroRNAs which negatively regulate mRNA translation by binding to 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) are implicated in cancer. Genetic changes in the 3'UTR of several genes were reported to be associated with higher susceptibility to particular tumor types. The aim of this...
