Abstract excerpt
Through a new hypothesis-driven and microRNA-pathway-based SNP (miR-SNP) association study we identified a novel miR-SNP (rs713065) in the 3'UTR region of FZD4 gene linked with decreased risk of death in early stage NSCLC patients. We determined biological function and mechanism of action of this FZD4-miR-SNP biomarker in a cellular platform. Our data suggest that FZD4-miR-SNP loci may significantly influence...
