Association of HOTAIR, MIR155HG, TERC, miR-155, -196a2, and -146a Genes Polymorphisms with Papillary Thyroid Cancer Susceptibility and Prognosis.

ABSTRACT: Polymorphisms in long non-coding RNA and microRNA genes may play a significant role in the susceptibility and progression of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The current study investigates the polymorphisms HOTAIR rs920778, MIR155HG rs1893650, TERC rs10936599, miR-155 rs767649, miR-196a2 rs11614913 and miR-146a rs2910164 in 102 PTC patients and 106 age- and sex-matched controls of the Caucasian Serbian population, using real-time PCR. We observed differences in genotype distributions of the HOTAIR rs920778 (p = 0.016) and MIR155HG rs1893650 (p = 0.0002) polymorphisms between PTC patients and controls. HOTAIR rs920778 was associated with increased PTC susceptibility (adjusted OR = 1.497, p = 0.021), with the TT variant genotype increasing the risk compared to the CC g
