Assessment of correlation between pre-miRNA-1757 polymorphism and chicken performance traits

H. Li, Jiang, K. R., Wang, S. H., Liu, X. J., Kang, X. T., Jiang, R. R., Li, Z. J., and Sun, G. R., Assessment of correlation between pre-miRNA-1757 polymorphism and chicken performance traits, vol. 14, pp. 12184-12195, 2015.

Single nucleotide polymorphism in microRNAs (miRNA) may influence their target gene selection and regulation efficiency, leading to animal phenotypic variation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the miRNA-1757 gene precursor region (pre-mir-1757) on economic-related traits in chicken. Genotyping was performed using Sequenom MassArray® iPLEX GOLD System. Association analysis was performed using SPSS19.0.

An let-7 KRAS rs712 polymorphism increases hepatocellular carcinoma risk

D. Xiong, Song, Y. P., Xiong, W., and Liang, Y. D., An let-7 KRAS rs712 polymorphism increases hepatocellular carcinoma risk, vol. 14, pp. 14050-14055, 2015.

KRAS, also known as V-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog, acts as an intracellular signal transducer. The oncogenic KRAS mutation is an essential step in the development of many types of human cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma. Here we aimed to investigate the relationship between KRAS rs712 polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma susceptibility. Five-hundred-and-fourteen participants were enrolled in a case-control study (262 cases and 252 normal subjects).
