Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNA molecules, which directly regulate gene expression. It has been documented that single nucleotide polymorphisms in miRNA genes could alter the regulation of miRNA expression and function. Objective: In this study, the allele and genotype frequency of miR-605 rs2043556 and its association with breast cancer were investigated in the Iranian population. Methods: Genotyping was performed in 162 females affected with breast cancer and 180 healthy individuals. Genotyping was performed using Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) followed by Sanger sequencing. Results: The data showed the presence of Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) for this marker in the Iranian population. Allelic frequency for A and G allele was 0.75 and 0.25, respectively. Odd ratios for the association between miR-605 rs2043556 AG/GG genotypes was 3.86 with p-value= 0. Conclusion: The results indicated an increased risk for breast cancer susceptibility for miR-605 rs2043556 in the Iranian population.

Background and Aim: The immune system plays an important role in the breast cancer development. OX40L (also known as TNFSF4), a membrane protein, which is a member of the tumor necrosis factor super family binds to its receptor OX40 and this co-stimulation has a crucial role in T cell proliferation, survival and cytokine release. Previous studies have shown that OX40L is associated with cancer. Due to the importance of the T cells in antitumor activities of OX40L we studied the association of rs3850641 (A→G) polymorphism of OX40L gene with the breast cancer. Materials and Methods: The study included 123 women with breast cancer and 126 healthy volunteers with no signs of cancer. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood leucocytes. Genotype and allele frequencies were determined in patients and control cases with the method of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and the statistical analysis was performed by Med Calc. Results: The prevalence of genotype frequencies of AA/ AG/GG were 60.9%, 30.08% and 8.9% in patients with breast cancer cases and 74.6%, 18.25% and 7.14% in healthy volunteers while the A and G allelic frequency was 76.01 and 23.98% in patients and 83.73 and 16.26% in healthy controls, respectively. Statistical analysis has shown significant difference from the comparison of genotype (p = 0.03). Conclusion: It is concluded that the rs3850641 SNP is significantly associated with the breast cancer susceptibility in Iranian population. However, further studies in larger populations including other genetic and environmental factors are required to achieve conclusion.
