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]. The gene discussed is HOXC8; the disease is esophageal adenocarcinoma.
