Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The presence of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the 3'-untranslated regions of genes could affect the binding between a microRNA (miRNA) and its target, with consequences on gene expression regulation. Considering the important role of miRNAs in carcinogenesis, it is hypothesized here that these SNPs could also affect the individual risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS: To test this...
