We screened and identified possible targets of miRNA-17-5p and the results suggested that CCND1, THBS1, WEE1, SIRPA, SOX4, UBE2C, MDK, KIF5C, PTBP1, GPM6A, DPYSL2, PTTG1, TPRG1L, KIAA0513, SCAMP5, RAPGEF4, NRIP3, MAP7, RAB11FIP1, BTG3, MELK, TSPAN6, PEA15, PPP3R1, PGM2L1, LAMC1, IER3, GABBR1, CD47, and ABCA1 genes may play important roles in the pathogenesis of AT/RT. The gene discussed is GABBR1; the disease is ataxia telangiectasia.
