Article Synopsis
- Capsular contracture (CC) is a frequent complication following breast implant procedures, leading to symptoms like breast hardening, pain, and deformity, which can diminish patients' quality of life.
- The causes and development of CC are not fully understood, and there's still uncertainty surrounding effective prevention and treatment strategies.
- This article reviews current research on CC's etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment options, aiming to provide a foundation for further studies and clinical applications.
Introduction: Genome-wide association studies have identified a genetic variant rs17356907 in netrin 4 (NTN4) as a risk locus of breast cancer (BC) in Europeans. NTN4 is a target gene of miR-17-92 cluster that is an oncogenic miRNA in BC development. We aimed to replicate the rs17356907 in a Chinese population and examine the interaction of NTN4 and miR-17-92 on BC susceptibility.

With the development of high-throughput sequencing, massive circRNAs are discovered in tumorous tissue. However, the potential physiological effect of circRNAs in breast cancer is still unknown.
