In addition, CA9 SNP rs1048638 increases the risk of cervical cancer, which might be due to an allele at CA9 rs1048638, which impairs miR-34a binding to the CA9 3′-UTR and desensitizes CA9 mRNA to miR-34a-dependent RNA degradation, in turn increasing CA9 expression (44). Here, CA9 is linked to cervical carcinoma.
