Abstract

Despite much progress in microRNA (miRNA) research, information regarding the association between miRNAs and venous thromboembolism (VTE), especially in Asian patients, remains limited. This case-control study sought to determine the correlation between the presence of polymorphisms in the genes encoding the miRNAs miR-146a, miR-149, miR-196a2, miR-499, and VTE in Korean patients. We observed no statistically significant differences in the genotype frequency of miRNA polymorphisms between 300 control individuals and 203 VTE patients. However, we observed a significant association between three allelic combinations of miRNA polymorphisms and VTE risk. Overall, our findings suggest that specific miRNA polymorphisms are associated with the risk of VTE in a Korean population.
