RNA sequences have a significant role in cancer development and progression. Mutations and aberrations in RNA can lead to the production of defective proteins, contributing to uncontrolled cell growth and division. mRNA abnormalities can result in the overexpression or underexpression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, respectively. Furthermore, non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), can regulate gene expression and are often dysregulated in cancer.
