Abstract

Polymorphisms in microRNA (miRNA) have been discussed to be associated with breast cancer risk; however, the conclusions were always inconsistent in different ethnicities. This case-control study enrolled 450 breast cancer cases, and 450 health controls was carried out to investigate the association between six polymorphisms in miRNAs and breast cancer risk. Sequenom MassARRAY was used to detect the polymorphisms in miRNAs, and the immunohistochemistry assay was applied to detect the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) in cancer tissue. The data showed that the 3746444 GG was associated with increased breast cancer risk (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.71, 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.16-2.52) and that rs2292832 CC (adjusted OR = 0.54, 95 % CI = 0.34-0.85) was associated with decreased breast cancer risk. In addition, menopausal status subgroup analysis revealed that rs3746444 GG (adjusted OR = 2.34, 95 % CI = 1.31-4.15) and GA/GG (adjusted OR = 1.60, 95 % CI = 1.08-2.37) genotypes were associated with increased breast cancer risk for the subgroup of women with premenopausal status, respectively. Moreover, rs2910164 GG (adjusted OR = 1.84, 95 % CI = 1.07-3.15) and CG/GG (adjusted OR = 1.47, 95 % CI = 1.01-2.15) genotypes were associated with increased breast cancer risk in the postmenopausal status subcohort, respectively. Furthermore, rs3746444 AG (adjusted OR = 1.61, 95 % CI = 1.06-2.45) and AG/GG (adjusted OR = 1.49, 95 % CI = 1.02-2.18) genotypes were observed to be associated with increased risk of lymph node involvement and breast cancer with negative PR expression, separately. In short, rs3746444 was associated with breast cancer risk, especially for women with premenopausal status, and rs2910164 CG and CG/GG genotypes were associated with breast cancer risk for the women with premenopausal status.

Attention Score in Context

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 25 January 2015.
All research outputs
#20,249,662
of 22,778,347 outputs
Outputs from Tumor Biology
#1,834
of 2,622 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#295,426
of 351,530 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Tumor Biology
#106
of 167 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,778,347 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 351,530 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 167 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.
