The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of single-nucleotide variant n.60G>C (rs2910164) of microRNA (miR)-146a, related to suppressing of BRCA1/2 DNA repair protein, with the risk and survival of colorectal cancer patients, as well as miR-146a and levels and miR binding efficiency. The genotypes were identified in 125 colorectal cancer patients and 276 controls using TaqMan polymerase chain reaction assay.
