Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) act as regulators of gene expression via translational repression. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNAs have been shown to affect the regulatory capacity of miRNAs by influencing miRNA processing and/or miRNA-mRNA interactions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between 2 SNPs commonly found in precursor miRNA and the susceptibility and clinicopathological...
