Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 3'-untranslated regions of cancer-related genes might affect regulation by microRNAs and contribute to cancer patients' outcome. METHODS: We used public databases to identify SNPs within miRNA-binding sites in deregulated genes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A total of 13 SNPs in 10 genes were included and genotyped by SNaPshot assay in 576 NSCLC...
