Taken together, these findings suggest the importance of uncovering the targets of miRNA, as well as deciphering their regulatory potential over gene expression, including MICA. The identification of the expression levels of miRNAs in each type of cancer, the presence of SNPs in miRNAs (Ryan et al., 2010), and their effect on MICA expression could give us a major comprehension of their biological effects in this context. Here, MICA is linked to cancer.
