Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have identified genes in the transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) signaling pathway that are responsible for regulating carcinogenesis. METHODS: We searched for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located within 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) that might affect the ability of miRNAs to bind genes in the TGFβ pathway for further analysis. We used TaqMan technology to...
