Five common functional polymorphisms in microRNAs (rs2910164, rs2292832, rs11614913, rs3746444, rs895819) and the susceptibility to breast cancer: evidence from 8361 cancer cases and 8504 controls.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the relationship between the five common polymorphisms in miRNAs (miR-146a rs2910164 G>C, miR-149 rs2292832 C>T, miR-196a2 rs11614913 C>T, miR-499 rs3746444 A>G and miR-27a rs895819 A>G), and breast cancer (BC) risk. METHODS: Meta-analyses were performed on 15 published studies involving 8, 361 BC patients and 8, 504 cancer-free controls. There were 8 studies with 4, 314 cases and 4, 485...
