Identification and Potential Mechanisms of a 7-MicroRNA Signature That Predicts Prognosis in Patients with Lower-Grade Glioma

Background. Lower-grade glioma is an intracranial cancer that may develop into glioblastoma with high mortality. The main objective of our study is to develop microRNA for LGG patients which will provide novel prognostic biomarkers along with therapeutic targets. Methods. Clinicopathological data of...

Clinicopathological data of LGG patients and their RNA expression profile were downloaded through The Cancer Genome Atlas Relevant expression profiles of RNA, and clinicopathological data of the LGG patients had been extracted from the database of “The Cancer Genome Atlas.” Differential expression analysis had been conducted for identification of the differentially expressed microRNAs as well as mRNAs in LGG samples and normal ones.
