Abstract excerpt
Genetic variations mapping to 3' untranslated regions (3'UTRs) may overlap with microRNA (miRNA) binding sites, therefore potentially interfering with translation inhibition or messenger RNA (mRNA) degradation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located within the 3'UTRs of six candidate genes and predicted to interfere with miRNA ligation could account for...
