Abstract excerpt
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in miRNA-machinery genes may alter the biogenesis of miRNAs affecting disease susceptibility. In this case-control study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (DICER rs1057035, DROSHA rs10719, and XPO5 rs11077) and their combined effect in a genetic risk score model on congenital heart disease (CHD) risk. A total of 639 participants was...
