An additional study in a cohort of 878 Chinese breast cancer patients and 900 controls found that rs417309 (A > G), present in the 3′UTR of DGCR8 mRNA is associated with a higher risk of developing breast cancer (OR = 1.50; CI 1.16–1.93) by altering binding ability of miR-106b and miR-579 to the DGCR8 3′UTR [24]. This evidence concerns the gene DGCR8 and breast carcinoma.
