Importantly, the UBE2T gene, located at 1q32.1, was reported to be overexpressed in several cancers, such as prostate cancer and gastric cancer.10, 11 MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a group of small non-coding RNAs, have been proposed as useful biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis, especially for cancer-related diseases.12 This evidence concerns the gene UBE2T and prostate carcinoma.
