GATA1 and cancer: In fact, several lines of evidence are indicative of a link between miR1202, GATA-1 and leukaemia: (i) miR-1202 has been firstly isolated from leukaemia cells [55]; (ii) miR-1202 is encoded at locus 6q25.3, a cancer-associated genomic region involved in (6,21) translocation in acute myeloid leukaemia [56–58]; (iii) miR-1202 has a well-documented tumour suppressive role in different tumour tissues as it has been found downregulated in glioma, ovarian cancer and clear cell papillary renal carcinoma cells [41,59,60].
