Abstract
Aim: miRNAs play an important role in breast cancer (BC). Variations in miRNAs influence their maturation, expression and consequently regulation of their target genes. Materials & methods: In this study, single nucleotide polymorphism rs11614913 was genotyped in BC patients (n = 300) and 230 controls by employing tetra primer amplification refractory mutation system PCR and Sanger sequencing (Macrogen Korea). Results: A significant difference was observed in the genotypes through co-dominant ( χ2.#x00A0;= 42.03; p < 0.0001), additive (odds ratio [OR] = 0.6441 [0.4887–0.8490, 95% confidence interval]; p < 0.0019), dominant (OR = 0.3996 [0.2809–0.5686], p < 0.0001) and recessive (OR = 0.2993 [0.1220–0.7347], p < 0.009) statistical models showed decreased risk association of C allele with BC. Conclusion: Females having CT genotype are at higher risk of BC as compared with those having CC genotype.
