Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cumulative data have shown that microRNAs (miRNA) are involved in the etiology and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Genetic polymorphisms in pre-miRNA genes may influence the biogenesis and functions of their host miRNAs. However, whether these polymorphisms are associated with CRC prognosis remains unknown. METHODS: We analyzed the effects of seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in...
