MicroRNA genes are highly associated with chromosomal features involved in the etiology of different cancers. The perturbations in the genomic structure or chromosomal architecture of a cell caused by these cancer-associated chromosomal features can affect the expression of the miR genes) located in close proximity to that chromosomal feature. Evaluation of miR gene expression can therefore be used to indicate the presence of a cancer~causing chromosomal lesion in a subject. As the change in miR gene expression level caused by a cancer-associated chromosomal feature may also contribute to cancerigenesis, a given cancer fan be treated by restoring the level of miR gene expression to normal.

Les gènes de microARN sont nettement associés à des caractéristiques chromosomiennes impliquées dans l'étiologie de différents cancers. Les perturbations de la structure du génome ou de la structure du chromosome, d'une cellule, dues auxdites caractéristiques chromosomiennes, peuvent affecter l'expression des gènes de microARN situés à proximité immédiate de ces caractéristiques. C'est pourquoi on peut utiliser l'évaluation de l'expression des gènes de microARN pour indiquer la présence d'une lésion chromosomienne cancérigène. Comme une variation du niveau de l'expression des gènes de microARN due à des caractéristiques chromosomiennes liées au cancer peut également contribuer à la cancérogenèse, on peut traiter un cancer donné en ramenant à la normale ledit niveau d'expression.
