Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs play an important role in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and are involved in numerous physiological processes. Aberrant expression of MicroRNAs is considered to participate in occurrence and progression of human cancers. A G>C polymorphism, rs2910164, which is located in the sequence of miR-146a precursor, could alter mature miR-146a expression and has been suggested to...
