In the present study, bioinformatics prediction displayed that miR-193a-3p, which had been confirmed to be suppressor in diverse human cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (Qian et al., 2017), lung cancer (Fan et al., 2017) as well as gastric cancer (Fan et al., 2017), might have potential ZFAS1 binding sites. The gene discussed is ZFAS1; the disease is cancer.
