Abstract excerpt
Aim: Conotruncal heart defects (CTDs) are the most common form of congenital heart disease. We investigated the association of these two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter of miR-143/145 (rs353292 and rs4705343) with the susceptibility to CTDs in a Chinese population. Materials & methods: Two SNPs in the promoter of miR-143/145 (rs353292 and rs4705343) have been examined by PCR-RFLP...
