As Evidence-Based Tumorigenic Role of Epstein-Barr Virus miR-BART1-3p in Neurological Tumors

摘要

Central nervous system tumors are a diverse group of tumors that account for 2% of all adult cancers and 17% of childhood malignancies. Several internal and external risk factors are involved in the development of this cancer such as viral infections. The aim of this study was to the determination of the EBV infection frequency and the expression level of miR-122 and miR-BART in CNS tumors samples.
