NCIt definition : The human MIR106A wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of Xq26.2 and is approximately
80 bases in length. This allele, which encodes MIR106A pre-miRNA, plays a role in
the regulation of gene expression. Alteration in the expression of this gene is associated
with development of T-cell leukemia.;
NCIt note : MIR106A is overexpressed in colon, pancreatic and prostate tumors and may target the
tumor suppressor Rb.;
