Abstract excerpt
IQGAP1 knockout mice develop gastric cancer, but the IQGAP1 protein is associated with some advanced-stage human cancers. IQGAP1 expression is regulated by a microRNA, miR-124, through a binding site at the 3'-untranslated region, where a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) exists in the core binding region. We asked whether IQGAP1 expression is associated with breast cancer development and whether genetic...
