Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A few polymorphisms are located in the mature microRNA sequences. Such polymorphisms could directly affect the binding of microRNA to hundreds of target mRNAs. It remains unknown whether rs4919510:C>G located in the mature miR-608 alters breast cancer susceptibility. METHODS: The association of rs4919510:C>G with risk and pathologic features of breast cancer were investigated in two independent...
