Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent noncoding RNAs that play a role in the gene regulation of oncogenes and tumor suppressors. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA genes are associated with risk of cancer. Some of these SNPs are more common including rs2910164 in the miR-146a, rs895819 in the miR-27a, and rs2910164 in the miR-502 binding site of the SET8. Our aim was to investigate the...
