Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: LncRNA MEG3 rs7158663 has been shown to confer cancer susceptibility, maybe through altering its gene expression level. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to weigh the effect of rs7158663 on MEG3 serum level and breast cancer susceptibility. METHODS: We genotyped rs7158663 G > A and measured serum MEG3 in 150 breast cancer, 95 fibroadenoma , and 154 controls by the TaqMan method. RESULTS: The presence of rs7158663 G...
