Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Recent studies have suggested that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA genes or their binding sites may alter an individual's susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD). In the present study, the association between two such SNPs (rs2910164 in miR-146a and rs12190287, which disrupts miRNA binding to TCF21) and CAD, in an Iranian population, was evaluated and in silico analyses were...
