Study of correlation between genetic variants in three microRNA genes (hsa-miR-146a, hsa-miR-502 binding site, hsa-miR-27a) and breast cancer risk

This study determined that genetic changes in miR-146a and the miR-502 binding site of the SET8 can be effective on the increased risk of breast cancer. Such variation in miR-27a can have protective effects against breast cancer.
