Abstract excerpt
With the accumulation of evidence of the involvement of small-RNA-based regulatory mechanisms in carcinogenesis, genes encoding Ago proteins emerged as candidates for case-control studies on cancer. Since the data from association studies on various cancer types was not previously meta-analyzed, the potential effect of these variants on cancer risk in general was not previously evaluated. Therefore, we conducted...
