Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Several microRNA (miRNA) polymorphisms have been associated with susceptibility to specific health disorders, including cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether four well-studied miRNA polymorphisms in non-Caucasian populations, namely miR146a G>C (rs2910164), miR149 C>T (rs2292832), miR196a2 C>T (rs11614913) and miR499 A>G (rs3746444), contribute to the risk for...
