Our findings suggest that polymorphisms in the rs2910164 of miR-146a and the rs11614913 of miR-196a2 are associated with prognosis in patients with completely resected NSCLC.
Here, we evaluated 101 paired samples (cancer and normal tissues) from non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients to study the genotype distribution of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miR-146a (rs2910164 C-G), miR-149 (rs2292832 C-T), miR-196a2 (rs11614913 C-T) and miR-499 (rs3746444 G-A) and their influence on the expression of respective miRNAs.
