MicroRNA-binding site polymorphisms in hematological malignancies
نویسنده
چکیده
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 reported. From the studies described in this review miRSNPs not only emerge as novel markers of risk and prognosis but can also lead to better understanding of the role of miRNAs in regulating gene expression in health and disease.

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 کاملAssociation between Cytochrome P450 2C19 Gene Polymorphisms and Hematological Malignancies in an Iranian Population
Background: Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) is widely involved in the metabolism of some medications. On the other hand, recent studies have shown the contribution of the CYP2C19 polymorphisms to different malignancies. We aimed to investigate the association between CYP2C19 polymorphism and occurrence of hematological malignancies by comparing the phenotype distribution of this enzyme in patien...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in microRNA targets: a gold mine for molecular epidemiology.
MicroRNAs are non-coding small RNAs that regulate gene expression by Watson-Crick base pairing to target messenger RNA (mRNA). They are involved in most biological and pathological processes, including tumorigenesis. The binding of microRNA to mRNA is critical for regulating the mRNA level and protein expression. However, this binding can be affected by single-nucleotide polymorphisms that can ...
متن کاملGenetic polymorphisms in the promoter region of catalase gene, creates new potential PAX-6 and STAT4 response elements
Catalase (CAT, OMIM: 115500) is an endogenous antioxidant enzyme and genetic variations in the regulatory regions of the CAT gene may alter the CAT enzyme activity and subsequently may alter the risk of oxidative stress related disease. In this study, potential influence(s) of the A-21T (rs7943316) and C-262T (rs1001179) genetic polymorphisms in the CAT promoter region, using the ALGGEN-PROMO.v...
