miRNAs have been involved in the pathogenesis of several cancers such as gastric cancer (GC.). In the following study we analyzed the expression of miR-7 in gastric cancer samples compared non-tumor tissues and gastric dysplasia (GD) samples with patients’ clinico-pathological data and its potential as diagnostic biomarker. We first analyzed its expression by real-time qRT– PCR in human GD and GC tissues, in which it was greatly downregulated in each compared with the control non-tumor tissues. The current study supports participation of miRNA miR-7-5p in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer and highlights their potential as diagnostic biomarker.
