Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of non-coding RNAs, bind to the 3' untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) of target mRNAs and regulate gene expression. Genetic variations in miRNA binding domains influence the susceptibility to several diseases such as cancer. Several studies investigated the impact of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs16917496 T>C within the 3'-UTR of SETD8 on cancer susceptibility, but the results...
