KRAS mutation is frequently detected in a series of cancers, including papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Recently, a genetic variant of rs712 in the 3' untranslated region of the KRAS gene has been reported to be functional in the regulation of KRAS by disrupting complementary site of let-7 and miR-181. We aimed to investigate whether the polymorphism is a risk factor for PTC. We conducted an association study, including 252 PTC patients and 290 healthy controls. The KRAS rs712 polymorphism was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Although no significant difference of the KRAS rs712 distribution was observed between cases and controls in overall analysis, stratification analysis showed that patients carrying the KRAS rs712TT genotype were less likely to develop stages T3 and T4 under a recessive genetic model (OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.08-0.82). These results supported the role of the KRAS rs712 polymorphism as a potential genetic biomarker for the extension of PTC. Further population-based association studies are of great value to confirm the results in diverse ethnicities.

Influence of recipient KRAS gene rs712 polymorphisms on the overall survival rate of hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatic transplantation.

Article Synopsis
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often recurs after liver transplantation (LT), impacting long-term patient survival, and this study explores the link between KRAS rs712 polymorphism and HCC recurrence post-LT.
- A total of 93 HCC patients were analyzed to identify independent risk factors influencing HCC recurrence, using various statistical methods including logistic regression and Cox regression.
- Results revealed that the recipient's KRAS rs712 genotype is significantly associated with HCC recurrence, with factors like the Milan criteria and microvascular invasion also identified as key independent risk factors for predicting recurrence and overall survival.
Association between KRAS gene polymorphisms and genetic susceptibility to breast cancer in a Chinese population.

Objective: The KRAS gene has a pathophysiological role in the development of many cancers. This study aims to investigate the relationship between KRAS polymorphisms and genetic susceptibility to breast cancer.
Method: The rs712, rs12587 and rs9266 gene loci in the KRAS gene of 421 subjects (141 breast cancer patients, 141 benign breast tumours and 139 healthy controls) were analysed by the polymerase chain reaction and SNaPshot sequencing.
Associations of Polymorphisms Localized in the 3'UTR Regions of the , , Genes with Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Genes (Basel)

Institute of Biology Systems and Genetic Research, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, 50103 Kaunas, Lithuania.
Background: Genetic variations, localized in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway-related genes, may alter the transcription and impact the pathogenesis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). The present study investigated the associations of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), localized in the 3'UTR) of the , and genes with LSCC risk and clinicopathological features.
Methods: Genomic DNA and clinical data were collected from 327 adult men with LSCC.
Association analysis of miRNA-related genetic polymorphisms in miR-143/145 and KRAS with colorectal cancer susceptibility and survival.

Background: There is accumulating evidence of aberrant expression of miR-143 and miR-145 and their target gene KRAS in colorectal cancer (CRC). We hypothesize that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within or near mRNA-microRNA (miRNA) binding sites may affect miRNA/target gene interaction, resulting in differential mRNA/protein expression and promoting the development and progression of CRC.
Methods: We conducted a case-control study of 507 patients with CRC recruited from a tertiary hospital and 497 population-based controls to assess the association of genetic polymorphisms in miR-143/145 and the KRAS 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) with susceptibility to CRC and patients' survival.
Association analysis between the interaction of RAS family genes mutations and papillary thyroid carcinoma in the Han Chinese population.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the major subtype of thyroid cancer, accounting for 75%-85% of all thyroid malignancies. This study aimed to identify the association between the interactions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in RAS family genes and PTC in the Han Chinese population, to provide clues to the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets for PTC. Hap Map and NCBI-db SNP databases were used to retrieve SNPs.
