چکیده
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNAsmay alter its expression levels or processing and contribute to susceptibility to a wide range of diseases. Our study aimed to evaluate the possible association between miRNA-146a rs2910164 and miRNA-499 rs3746444 polymorphisms and susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in a sample of Iranian population. This case- control study was performed on 202 PTB patients and 204 healthy individuals. Genotyping was performed using tetra amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR). The results indicated that neither miRNA-499 rs3746444 nor miRNA-146a rs2910164 are associated with the risk of PTB in a sample of Iranian population. Larger studies with different ethnicities are required to validate our findings.

متن کاملAssociation between polymorphisms in pre-miRNA genes and risk of oral squamous cell cancer in a Chinese population
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs play important roles in the development of human cancers. This case-control study is to evaluate the roles of the polymorphisms in pre-miRNAs on risk of oral cancer in a Chinese population. METHODS The genotypes of three polymorphisms were determined in 340 patients with oral squamous cell cancer and 340 healthy controls who were frequency matched for age and sex. Odds ra...
متن کاملAssociation of microRNA polymorphisms with the risk of myocardial infarction in a Chinese population.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the regulation of a variety of biological processes, such as inflammation. Dysregulation of miRNAs have been implicated in many human disease, including cardiovascular diseases. Polymorphisms in miRNA genes may affect the miRNA biogenesis and function, and thus cause changes in the expression of thousands of genes. The aim of this study was to examine whether ...
متن کاملAssociations of miRNA polymorphisms and expression levels with breast cancer risk in the Chinese population.
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in microRNAs (miRNAs) may dramatically affect gene expression and subsequently alter individual susceptibility to cancer, and thus has become a research hotspot for many cancer types, including breast cancer. We recruited 321 breast cancer patients and 290 controls in our study. Four established miRNA single-nucleotide polymorphisms (mir-499 rs3746444 A>G; miR-27...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in microRNAs (miRNAs) and breast cancer susceptibility; however, because of their limited statistical power, many discrepancies are revealed in these studies. The meta-analysis presented here aimed to identify and characterize the roles of miRNA SNPs in breast cancer risk, and ev...
