Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The functional influence of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter ABCC2 (MRP2) has been characterized in numerous studies. The aim of this study was to address the question of whether distinct ABCC2 haplotypes, which differ in their mRNA secondary structures, show an influence on the degree of mRNA and protein downregulation through miRNA interaction....
