Abstract excerpt
According to the Vogelstein's model of colorectal carcinogenesis, genetic variations in highly penetrant genes may be involved in the colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis. Similarly, aberrant function and/or altered expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) often occur in CRC. In this context, polymorphisms in miRNA-binding sites (miRSNPs) may affect miRNA/target gene interaction, resulting in differential mRNA/protein...
