Evaluation of single nucleotide polymorphisms in microRNAs (hsa-miR-196a2 rs11614913 C/T) from Brazilian women with breast cancer.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence has shown that miRNAs are involved in human carcinogenesis as tumor suppressors or oncogenes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in pre-miRNAs may affect the processing and therefore, influence the expression of mature miRNAs. Previous studies generated conflicting results when reporting association between the hsa-miR-196a2 rs11614913 common polymorphism and breast cancer. METHODS: This study evaluated the hsa-miR-196a2 rs11614913 SNP in 388 breast cancer cases and 388 controls in Brazilian women. Polymorphism was determined by real-time PCR; control and experimental groups were compared through statistical analysis using the X2 or Fisher's exact tests. RESULTS: The analysis of the SNPs frequencies showed a significant difference between the groups (BC and CT) in regards to genotype distribution (?2: p?=?0.024); the homozygous variant (CC) was more frequent in the CT than in the BC group (p?=?0.009). The presence of the hsa-miR-196a2 rs11614913 C/T polymorphism was not associated with histological grades (p?=?0.522), axillary lymph node positive status (p?=?0.805), or clinical stage (p?=?0.670) among the breast cancer patients. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicated that the CC polymorphic genotype is associated with a decreased risk of BC and the presence of the T allele was significantly associated with an increased risk of BC.
