Abstract

Germline variants within BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes account for approximately 25% of familial aggregations of breast-ovarian cancers. Low or no expression of BRCA1 in breast and ovarian cancers is associated with a good clinical response to treatment with platinum therapies and PARP1 inhibitors. Recent studies demonstrated that microRNAs - small non-coding RNAs, involved in the control of gene expression, can decrease BRCA1 expression by targeting the 3'UTR region of the gene. This article reviews reported relationships between various miRNAs, such as miRNA-9, miRNA-146a, miRNA-182 miRNA-218, miRNA-638 and the response to cytostatic drugs, mainly to platins and PARP1 inhbitors, for the treatment of breast and ovarian cancer associated with BRCA1 mutations.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 October 2017.
All research outputs
#22,764,772
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice
#215
of 260 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#289,482
of 329,378 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice
#6
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 260 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,378 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
