Objective: To identify miRNAs predictors of poor prognosis in adrenocortical cancer.Methods: Using microarrays, we evaluated the expression of 728 human miRNAs in six adenomas (ACAs) and twelve carcinomas (ACCs). The ACC group was composed of two subgroups A and B consisting of six recurrent (subgroup A) and six non-recurrent tumors (subgroup B). These two distinct subgroups have been characterized recently (de Reynies et al, 2009) on the basis of distin...
