There is widespread aberrant expression of mature and/or precursor microRNAs in cancer
cells, as microRNAs are deregulated consequent to chromosomal alterations and other
genomic abnormalities. The identification of such abnormalities has a clear diagnostic and
prognostic significance, and there are ever increasing examples of links between certain
human cancers and modifications at microRNA loci.
