Abstract
Objective
Our study aimed to evaluate the possible association between hsa-mir-499a (rs3746444 A>G) polymorphism and susceptibility to breast cancer in an Isfahanian population.
Materials & methods
In this case–control study we enrolled 91 healthy subjects and patients with breast cancer. Allele-specific primer PCR was applied for genotyping the SNP.
Results
Our study showed that the hsa-mir-499a rs3746444 G allele increased the risk of breast cancer regarding to allele frequency differences (OR: 1.922; 95% CI: 1.064–3.470; p = 0.02952) and Armitage's trend test (OR: 1.722; p = 0.04732) in comparison with the A allele. In addition, an in silico attempt to find functional consequences of A>G substation suggested that the G allele may decrease hsa-mir-499a stability based on calculated free energy differences between A and G alleles.
Conclusion
Our findings illustrated that the mir-499a rs3746444 G polymorphism is associated with higher risk of developing breast cancer in Isfahanian population.
