Abstract excerpt
Accumulating evidence has indicated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA precursors may have an effect on miRNA expression levels. Recently, an important A to G transition SNP in pre-mir-27a (rs895819) was identified. Previous studies have investigated the role of rs895819 in cancer risk, but the results remain contradictory, rather than conclusive. The present study aimed to evaluate the...
