For example, miR-196a has been studied for its oncogenic roles in glioblastoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, breast cancer, oesophageal adenocarcinoma, and colorectal cancer, and shown to target HOX family genes (HOXA7, HoxB7, HOXC8, HOXB8, HOXD8), ERG, HMGA2, ANXA1, S100A9, SPRR2C, KRTS [25], [26]–[31]. Here, HOXD8 is linked to colorectal cancer.
