Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) negatively regulate the gene expression and act as tumor suppressors or oncogenes in oncogenesis. The association between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in miR-196a2 rs11614913 and the susceptibility of digestive system cancers was inconsistent in previous studies. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: An updated meta-analysis based on 15 independent case-control studies consisting...
