| Abstract |
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) is the most common subtype of renal cell cancer and accounts for 70 % of renal cell cancer. CCRCC remains an enigmatic tumor type, as the molecular genetic mechanisms are still unclear. MicroRNA (miR) 149 functions as a tumor suppressor and plays an important role in the carcinogenesis of renal cells. In this study, we enrolled 1,000 CCRCC patients and 1,000 cancer-free controls to evaluate the association of miR149 rs71428439 with the risk of CCRCC by a case-control study to determine the effects on CCRCC risk. miR149 rs71428439 was significantly associated with increased CCRCC risk (odds ratio (OR) for trend = 1.53, P for trend = 4.04 × 10(-11)), with ORs (95 % confidence intervals (CIs)) of 1.42 (1.17-1.72) associated with AG genotype and 2.27 (1.76-2.94) associated with GG genotype, compared with subjects with AA genotype. The expression levels of miR149 in cancer tissues were significantly lower than those in adjacent normal tissues (P = 0.005), and per G allele has significantly lower miR149 levels in both tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues. Our data suggest that the GG genotypes of miR149 rs71428439 predispose their carriers to CCRCC, and miR149 rs71428439 may be a new biomarker for predicting the risk of CCRCC. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 September 2014.
All research outputs
#20,236,620
of 22,763,032 outputs
Outputs from Tumor Biology
#1,834
of 2,622 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#203,647
of 243,384 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Tumor Biology
#74
of 128 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,763,032 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,622 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 243,384 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 128 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
