Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence indicate that sequence alterations within microRNA (miRNA)-binding sites can modify the binding to its target gene resulting in altered expression patterns. We hypothesized that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in the miR-515-5p binding site of igf-1r gene may alter IGF-1R regulation, with consequent effects on breast cancer risk in BRCA1 mutation carriers. Computational...
