IL6ST and neoplasm: To evaluate if there was a correlation between miR-24-2-5p and the modulated transcripts (CNNM4, DCTD, FMR1, PIGS, HLA-A, ICK, SH3BGRL2, WDFY, TRAF9B, IL6ST, PEX10, TRIM59) in BC tissues from patients, we examined their expression levels in primary tumours (n = 736) by interrogating the TCGA-BRCA dataset.
