MicroRNAs (miRNAs) act as an oncogene or a tumor suppressor by negatively regulating target genes. Genetic variants in miRNA genes confer susceptibility to cancer and risk of death in cancer patients. The aim of this study was to investigate whether miRNA polymorphisms were associated with survival in breast cancer patients. Five miRNA polymorphisms (miR-26a1 rs7372209, miR-125a rs12976445, miR-218 rs11134527, miR-423 rs6505162, and miR-608 rs4919510) were genotyped in 196 breast cancer patients. We found that miR-125a rs12976445 was significantly associated with survival in codominant, recessive, and dominant models. However, only association under the codominant model remained significant after adjustment for lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor. Furthermore, this effect remained in stratification analysis. In conclusion, our results provide evidence that miR-125a rs12976445 may serve as a prognostic biomarker for breast cancer. Further large-scale studies are required to confirm these findings.

Objective: To investigate the effects of the gene rs10754339 and gene rs12976445 on cancer susceptibility through a case-control study and meta-analysis.
Methods: A total of 1,490 cancer patients (lung/gastric/liver/: 550/460/480) and 800 controls were recruited in this case-control study. The meta-analysis was performed by pooling the data from previous related studies and the present study.

Numerous studies have reported single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA). The present study aimed to conduct an updated meta-analysis to confirm a pooled effect size of the association between miRNA SNPs and URSA. The relevant literature was searched on PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library before July 2022 to identify case-control studies.

Pregnancy is controlled by several types of genes and the regulation of their expression is tightly controlled by miRNAs. The present study was carried out to explore the association between miR-125a polymorphic sequence variation and its expression and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) compared to full-term healthy controls. A total of 150 women that had experienced two or more RPLs and 180 healthy controls (two or more full-term pregnancies) were recruited, along with 50 product of conception (POC) samples from the corresponding RPL patients, and evaluated for miR-125a SNPs by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method (PCR-RFLP), which was confirmed by high resolution melting (HRM)/DNA sequencing.

This study aimed to study the association between rs12976445 polymorphism and the incidence of IA re-bleeding. Genotype and allele frequency analysis was performed to study the association between rs12976445 polymorphism and the risk of IA re-bleeding. Western blot, ELISA and real-time RT-PCR were conducted to measure the relative expression of miR-125a, ET1 mRNA and ET1 protein.
