Abstract excerpt
BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations confer an increased lifetime risk of breast cancer; however, the associations of microRNA (miRNA) binding site single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of BRCA1 and BRCA2 with breast cancer (BC) risk were rarely reported. In this case-control study (498 BC patients and 498 matched controls), three SNPs (rs8176318, rs12516 and rs15869) were selected in the...
