Abstract excerpt
MicroRNA-146a (miR-146a) is one of the microRNAs (miRNAs) implicated in the pathogenesis of various cancers. Recently, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in miRNAs themselves, so-called MIRSNPs, have attracted attention because of their possible involvement in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Such MIRSNPs may play functional roles because of the alteration of the miRNA. In this study, we...
