Abstract excerpt
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are an intriguing class of regulatory RNAs involved in the tumorigenesis of many cancers, including colorectal cancer. Mechanistically, circRNAs sponge microRNAs (miRNAs) with specific miRNA response elements (MREs) and compete for regulatory target genes downstream. However, the genetic effects of MREs on colorectal cancer susceptibility remain unclear. The MREs of colorectal...
