Down-regulation of BRCA1 expression by miR-146a and miR-146b-5p in triple negative sporadic breast cancers
Germ-line mutations in the BRCA1 gene strongly predispose women to breast cancer (lifetime risk up to 80%). Furthermore, the BRCA1 protein is absent or present at very low levels in about one third of sporadic breast cancers. However, the mechanisms underlying BRCA1 somatic inactivation appear multi...
