The Pattern of microRNA Binding Site Distribution
Micro-RNA (miRNA or miR) regulates at least 60% of the genes in the human genome through their target sites at mRNA 3'-untranslated regions (UTR), and defects in miRNA expression regulation and target sites are frequently observed in cancers. We report here a systematic analysis of the distribution of miRNA target sites. Using the evolutionarily conserved miRNA binding sites in the TargetScan d...
متن کاملMicroRNA-binding site polymorphisms in hematological malignancies
Dysregulation of microRNA networks has been implicated in hematological malignancies. One of the reasons for disturbed miRNA-mediated regulation are polymorphisms in miRNA-binding sites (miRSNPs), which alter the strength of miRNA interaction with target transcripts. In the recent years the first findings of miRSNPs associated with risk and prognosis in hematological malignancies have been repo...
متن کاملP-244: Analysis of Genomic and Cell Free DNA of A let-7 microRNA Binding Site of KRAS Gene Polymorphisms in Endometriosis
Background: Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological diseases which is characterized by endometriallike tissue growing outside the uterine cavity. Although the pathology of endometriosis remains unknown, the genetic predisposition plays an apparent role. Several genes have been contributed to endometriosis, but it seems KRAS has a crucial role, because its activation results...
متن کاملAltered Gene Expression Associated with microRNA Binding Site Polymorphisms
Allele-specific gene expression associated with genetic variation in regulatory regions can play an important role in the development of complex traits. We hypothesized that polymorphisms in microRNA (miRNA) response elements (MRE-SNPs) that either disrupt a miRNA binding site or create a new miRNA binding site can affect the allele-specific expression of target genes. By integrating public exp...
متن کاملAssociation of rs712 polymorphism in a let-7 microRNA-binding site of KRAS gene with colorectal cancer in a Mexican population
Objective(s): The rs712 polymorphism in a let-7 microRNA-binding site at KRAS gene has been associated with cancer. To examine its association with rs712 polymorphism, we analyzed Mexican individuals with colorectal cancer (CRC) and healthy subjects. Materials and Methods: Genotyping of the rs712 polymorphism was performed by polymerase chain reaction in 281 controls and 336 CRC patients. Resul...
