Kawasaki disease (KD) is a type of disease that includes the development of a fever that lasts at least 5 days and involves the clinical manifestation of multicellular vasculitis. KD has become one of the most common pediatric cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies have reported that rs11134527 A>G is associated with susceptibility to various cancer risks. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding the relationship between this polymorphism and KD risk. The present study explored the correlation between the rs11134527 A>G polymorphism and the risk of KD. We recruited 532 patients with KD and 623 controls to genotype the rs11134527 A>G polymorphism with a TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. Our results illustrated that the rs11134527 A>G polymorphism was not associated with KD risk. In an analysis stratified by age, sex, and coronary artery lesions, we found only that the risk of KD was significantly decreased for children older than 5 years (GG vs. AA/AG: adjusted OR = 0.26, 95% CI = 0.07-0.94, =0.041). The present study demonstrated that the rs1113452 A>G polymorphism may have an age-related relationship with KD susceptibility that has not previously been revealed.

Background: Although the importance of miRNA variants in female reproductive disorders has been frequently reported, the association between miRNA polymorphisms and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has been poorly studied. In this study, we aimed to assess the correlation of four different miRNA variants to unexplained RPL.
Methods And Results: The prevalence of four SNPs including miR-21 rs1292037, miR-155-5p rs767649, miR-218-2 rs11134527, and miR-605 rs2043556 in 280 cases with iRPL and 280 controls was performed.

Article Synopsis
- MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are linked to cancer progression, and polymorphisms in these miRNAs may affect cancer risk, particularly in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- The study analyzed specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to miRNAs in a group of NSCLC patients and healthy individuals from Yunnan Province, using binary logistic regression.
- Findings indicated that certain SNPs (rs11134527 and rs4705343) showed significant differences in frequency between the NSCLC and control groups, with rs11134527 potentially reducing risk for NSCLC while rs4705343 may increase the risk, suggesting these genetic variants could influence cancer susceptibility in the Han Chinese population.

Genetic mutations in microRNA gene can alter expression, which may interact to increase the risk of developing various diseases, including hepatitis B. However, published results are inconclusive or ambiguous. The aim of this review and meta-analysis is to more precisely estimate the association between polymorphisms in microRNA genes and hepatitis B risk.
