Abstract excerpt
Ovarian cancer patients carrying alterations (i.e., germline mutations, somatic mutations, hypermethylations and/or deletions) of BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) have a better prognosis than BRCA1/2 alteration non-carriers. However, patients with wild-type BRCA1/2 may also have a favorable prognosis as a result of other mechanisms that remain poorly elucidated, such as the deregulation of miRNAs. We therefore sought to...
