Introduction: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in the susceptibility and development of cancer cells.
Objective: Examining the dependency of breast cancer risk with genetic polymorphisms of miR-1307, miR-1269, and miR-3117 in a sample of Iranian women (southeast region).
Methods: The case-control study consisted of 520 individuals (260 diagnosed BC patients, 260 healthy individuals). The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used for genotyping of miR-1307 rs7911488, miR-1269 rs73239138, and miR-3117 (rs4655646 and rs7512692) polymorphisms.
Results And Conclusion: This study provided evidence that miR-1307 rs7911488 polymorphism significantly reduced the risk of BC in heterozygous AG genotype, as well as dominant (AG+GG) genotype and G allele. A significant correlation was found between dominant (AA+AG) genotype, the A allele and protection against BC due to miR-1269 rs73239138 in the sample of study. In contrast, our findings suggested that AG genotype and G allele of miR-3117 rs4655646 polymorphism could increase BC's susceptibility among the southeastern Iranian females. The miR-3117 rs7512692 variant also increased the risk of BC in codominant, dominant and recessive models, as well as the T allele. The possible dependency of miR-1307, miR-1269, and miR-3117 variants with patients' clinicopathological characteristics and BC was also studied. It was concluded that there is a correlation between miR-3117 rs7512692 variant and tumor grade (p=0.031); also, a correlation between miR-1269 rs73239138 variant and progesterone receptor status (p=0.006). The current investigation revealed that miR-1307, miR-1269, and miR-3117 polymorphisms might play a crucial role in the Iranian population's vulnerability to BC.<br />.
