Abstract excerpt
Emerging evidence suggests that down-regulated miRNAs play an important role in the carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of miRNAs may disturb miRNAs processing, alter their expression, and ultimately affect an individual's susceptibility to CRC. We conducted a case-control study and analyzed twelve SNPs in the promoter region of miR-143/145 of...
