Abstract excerpt
Global changes in gene expression accompany the development of cancer. Thus, inherited variants in miRNA-binding sites are likely candidates for conferring inherited susceptibility. Using an in silico approach, we compiled a comprehensive list of SNPs predicted to modulate miRNA binding in genes from several key lung cancer pathways. We then investigated whether these SNPs were associated with lung cancer risk in...
