MiR-27 as a prognostic marker for breast cancer progression and patient survival.

<h4>Background</h4>MicroRNA-27a (miR-27a) is thought to be an onco-microRNA that promotes tumor growth and metastasis by downregulating ZBTB10. The potential predictive value of miR-27a was studied in breast cancer patients.<h4>Methods</h4>The expression of miR-27a and ZBTB10...

The Correlation of miR-27a and ZBTB10 expression was analyed by Spearman Rank Correlation.

Patients with high miR-27a or low ZBTB10 expression tended to have significantly shorter disease-free survival times (57 months and 53 months, respectively, P <0.001) and overall survival times (58 months and 55 months, respectively, P <0.001).
