Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNA (miRNA) binding sites in the NOD2 and IL12B gene 3.-untranslated regions and colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility in an Iranian population. METHODS: We genotyped NOD2 rs3135500 [3. untranslated region (UTR) A/G] and IL12B rs1368439 (3.UTR G /T) in a hospital-based study of 92...
