Association between INDELs in MicroRNAs and Susceptibility to Gastric Cancer in Amazonian Population.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) is a multifactorial, complex, and aggressive disease with a prevalence of one million new cases and high global mortality. Factors such as genetic, epigenetic, and environmental changes contribute to the onset and progression of the disease. Identification of INDELs in miRNA and its target sites in current studies showed an important role in the development of cancer. In GC, miRNAs act as oncogenes or tumor suppressors, favoring important cancer pathways, such as cell proliferation and migration. This work aims to investigate INDELs in the coding region of miRNAs (hsa-miR-302c, hsa-miR-548AJ-2, hsa-miR-4274, hsa-miR-630, hsa-miR-516B-2, hsa-miR-4463, hsa-miR-3945, hsa-miR-548H_4, hsa-miR-920, has-mir-3171, and hsa-miR-3652) that may be associated with susceptibility and
