Background: Although pituitary adenomas are common endocrine neoplasms, the background of their pathogenesis has not clearly revealed. G1/S checkpoint alterations of the cell cycle have already been described in these tumours. MicroRNAs (miRs) which are small, non-coding RNA molecules, and posttranscriptionally regulate protein expression have also identified as potential pathogenic factors in certain cases. Our aim was to determine miR expression profile in pituitary adenomas...
