Abstract excerpt
Growing evidence showed that microRNAs (miRs) are involved in normal hematopoiesis and the pathogenesis of several hematological malignancies. Genetic variations or mutations occurring in the miR gene region may affect the property of miRs through altering miR expression and/or maturation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible relationship between two miRs polymorphisms, hsa-miR-146a...
