In the present preliminary study we evaluated the associations of two SNPs (rs2910164 and rs11614913 in miR-146a and miR-196a2, respectively) with the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in a Greek population.
These findings suggested that mir-146a rs2910164 and mir‑149 rs2292832 may be associated with the increased risk of IBD via alterations in the expression levels of miRNAs.
