Reconstructing miRNA targeting on MUC17 and analyzing functions of genes belonging to these biclusters may help, not only to discover other miRNAs which could concur to its regulation, and hence to its aberrant expression in cancer pathogenesis, but also to give an insight, through the putative relationships suggested by the biclustering with other genes, on the still unknown physiological role of MUC17. Here, MUC17 is linked to cancer.
