Studies with larger number of samples independently validated by RT-qPCR and correlation analysis between differentially expressed miRNAs and their target pairs using cervical precancerous and cancer lesions and comparison with other biomarkers such as HPV genotyping, methylation and p16/Ki67 dual-staining are also needed to further improve the knowledge about their biological role and clinical utility of these biomarkers to triage hrHPV-positive women. Here, MKI67 is linked to cancer.
