## Abstract MicroRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in tumorigenesis, but whether miRNA is a cancer predisposition factor or not is still unknown. Considering the fact that miRNA regulates a number of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) and oncogenes, genetic variations in miRNA genes could affect the l

Genetic screening of women from multiple-case breast cancer families and other research-based endeavors have identified an extensive collection of germline variations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 that can be classified as deleterious and have clinical relevance. For some variants, such as those in the conserv
BRCA1 is a tumour suppressor gene located on chromosome band 17q21. It is estimated that mutations in the BRCA1 gene account for approximately 45% of the breast cancer families and almost all of the breast/ovarian cancer families. We have used single strand conformation polymorphism analysis, direct
## Abstract Previously, we reported the identification of __MMA1A__ by screening for differential gene expression in two human melanoma cell lines displaying diverse metastatic behavior after subcutaneous inoculation into nude mice. Splice variant __MMA1B__, which also was identified through databa
