Tumor Progression
0.100 Biomarker phenotype BEFREE BRMS1 forms complexes with SIN3, histone deacetylases and selected transcription factors that modify metastasis-associated gene expression (e.g., EGFR, OPN, PI4P5K1A, PLAU). microRNA (miRNA) are a recently discovered class of regulatory, noncoding RNA, some of which are involved in neoplastic progression. 19585508 2009
CUI: C0178874
Disease: Tumor Progression
Tumor Progression
