miR‑146a‑5p and miR‑191‑5p as novel diagnostic marker candidates for ovarian clear cell carcinoma.

Ovarian cancer is a malignant gynecologic disease rarely diagnosed in the early stages. Among the various types of ovarian cancer, clear cell carcinoma has a poor prognosis due to its malignant potential. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) regulate gene expression in cells by suppressing the translation of target genes or by degrading the target mRNA.
