Expression Analysis of MicroRNA-222 in Breast Cancer.

Background: miR-221 and miR-222 are homologous miRNAs located in tandem, within 1 kb from each other, on human x chromosome. Recent studies declared that microRNA-222 is aberrantly expressed in various malignancies. The goal of this research was to measure the expression level of has-miR-222-3P and reveal its diagnostic and prognostic importance in breast malignancy.
