These results indicated that: (1) the EPHA7 expression is not associated with miR-944 in the minority of NSCLC, although the EPHA7 expression might be inversely regulated by miR-944 in the majority of NSCLC tissue; (2) apart from miR-944, EPHA7 regulation is involved in other mechanisms. The gene discussed is EPHA7; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
