Few miRNAs have been pointed to as regulators of AURKA mRNA but, importantly, reported cases of miRNA targeting of AURKA occur in those cancers where AURKA overexpression is a promoting factor or a marker of poor prognosis (Fadaka et al., 2020; Zhang et al., 2020; Yuan et al., 2019; Ma et al., 2015). The gene discussed is AURKA; the disease is cancer.
