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.
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.
