BACKGROUND: Aberrant expression and structural alteration of miRNAs are considered to participate in inflammation and cancer development. It has been suggested that common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNAs are associated with susceptibility to several human diseases. METHODS: In the present preliminary study we evaluated the associations of two SNPs (rs2910164 and rs11614913 in miR-146a and...
