Potentially functional genetic variants in microRNA processing genes and risk of HBV‐related hepatocellular carcinoma
Meta-analysisN=8,614Li Liu et al.(2013)· Molecular Carcinogenesis

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined associations between SNPs in miRNA biosynthesis genes DROSHA and DGCR8 and cancer risk across 10 case-control studies (4,265 cases, 4,349 controls). The DGCR8 rs417309 SNP showed significant association with elevated overall cancer risk across all genetic models. DROSHA rs10719 and rs6877842 SNPs were associated with cancer risk in specific populations (Asian populations and laryngeal cancer, respectively).

Association of a common AGO1 variant with lung cancer risk: A two‐stage case–control study
Meta-analysisN=8,614Jong‐Sik Kim et al.(2010)· Molecular Carcinogenesis

Meta-analysis of 10 case-control studies (4,265 cancer cases, 4,349 controls) examining seven SNPs in miRNA biosynthesis genes DROSHA and DGCR8 showed that DGCR8 rs417309 (G/A) was significantly associated with increased cancer risk (OR=3.169, 95%CI=1.63-6.146 for AA vs GG; OR=3.026, 95%CI=1.574-5.817 for recessive model), while DROSHA rs10719 and rs6877842 showed associations in Asian and laryngeal cancer subgroups.

About DROSHA

This gene encodes a ribonuclease (RNase) III double-stranded RNA-specific ribonuclease and subunit of the microprocessor protein complex, which catalyzes the initial processing step of microRNA (miRNA) synthesis. The encoded protein cleaves the stem loop structure from the primary microRNA (pri-miRNA) in the nucleus, yielding the precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is then exported to the cytoplasm for further processing. In a human cell line lacking a functional copy of this gene, canonical miRNA synthesis is reduced. Somatic mutations in this gene have been observed in human patients with kidney cancer.
