Furthermore, bioinformatics prediction reveals that miR‐6079 also targets the 3′‐UTR region of some tumour‐associated gene mRNAs, such as glycine acetyltransferase GLYAT, CDKN2A binding protein CDKN2AIP, etc Therefore, miR‐24‐2 may also promote the development of liver cancer by affecting the expression of these genes. This evidence concerns the gene CDKN2A and liver cancer.
