A miR-SNP biomarker linked to an increased lung cancer survival by miRNA-mediated down-regulation of FZD4 expression and Wnt signaling

Abstract Through a new hypothesis-driven and microRNA-pathway-based SNP (miR-SNP) association study we identified a novel miR-SNP (rs713065) in the 3′UTR region of FZD4 gene linked with decreased risk of death in early stage NSCLC patients. We determined biological function and mechanism of action o...
