“…However, the mechanism of the rs895819 SNV and its effect on its expression is unknown. Previous studies suggested that the rs895819 SNV alters the stability and/or processing of miR-27a; however, these results are conflicting, with some studies showing increased miR-27a expression [13,34], others showing decreased miR-27a expression [27,35,36], and one showing no effect of the rs895819 SNV on miR-27a expression [37]. Similarly, conflicting studies have shown a decrease, an increase, and no association between carriers of the rs895819 SNV and the risk of various cancers [16][17][18]25,38].…”
