Our data suggested that the TNFAIP2 miRNA binding site rs8126 T>C SNP may be a marker for susceptibility to gastric cancer, and this finding requires further validation by larger studies.
We genotyped four selected TNFAIP2 SNPs (rs8126 T>C, rs710100 G>A, rs1052912 G>A and rs1052823 G>T) and used the logistic regression analysis to assess associations of these SNPs with cancer risk.

Taken together, these findings indicate that the miR-184 binding site SNP (rs8126 T > C) in the 3' UTR of TNFAIP2 is functional by modulating TNFAIP2 expression and contributes to SCCHN susceptibility.
