Abstract excerpt
Gender disparity in melanoma is a complex issue where sex hormones could be engaged. Differences in genetic variations are important in understanding the mechanisms of sex disparity in melanoma. Post-transcriptional regulation of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS2) mRNA occurs through a complex interplay of specific trans-acting RNA-binding proteins and microRNAs. MiR-146a is a key player in melanoma,...
