Association of SNPs in miR-146a, miR-196a2, and miR-499 with the risk of endometrial/ovarian cancer

MicroRNAs （miRNAs） are a class of small non-coding RNA molecules （containing N22 nucleotides）, which function in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression [1]. miRNAs have been reported to play a key role in tumorigenesis [1], Some single nucleotide polymorphisms （SNPs） in...

Description
Summary:MicroRNAs （miRNAs） are a class of small non-coding RNA molecules （containing N22 nucleotides）, which function in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression [1]. miRNAs have been reported to play a key role in tumorigenesis [1], Some single nucleotide polymorphisms （SNPs） in miRNA genes can influence the generation or function of miRNAs, and thereby possibly affect tumor growth and development.
