We focused on this marker because: (1) miR-155 is involved in microsatellite instability (MSI) in colorectal cancer by targeting hMLH1, MSH2 and MSH6 and therefore potentially affecting the CA repeat sequence [1], and (2) the CA repeat may enable BUB1 mRNA to elude miRNA targeting by binding the RNA-binding protein HNRNPL depending on the length of the marker [18,19]. Here, MLH1 is linked to colorectal cancer.
