NCIt definition : Human MIR34A wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p36.22 and is 110 bases
in length. This allele, which encodes MIR34A pre-miRNA, plays a role in the regulation
of mRNA translation.;
NCIt note : The MIR34A gene appears to regulate expression of the CD44 gene and may inhibit tumor
growth and metastasis. (Nature Medicine. 2011; 17: 162-164.);
