Abstract
Aim: The study aims to identify high-impact single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA target sites of genes associated with lung cancer.Materials & methods: Lung cancer genes were obtained from Uniprot KB. miRNA target site SNPs were mined from MirSNP, miRdSNP and TargetScan. SNPs were shortlisted based on binding impact, minor allele frequencyand conservation. Gene expression was analyzed in genes with high-impact SNPs in healthy versus lung cancer tissue. Additionally, enrichment, pathwayand network analyzes were performed.Results: 19 high-impact SNPs were identified in miRNA target sites of lung cancer-associated genes. These SNPs affect miRNA binding and gene expression. The genes are involved in key cancerrelated pathways.Conclusion: The identified high-impact miRNA target site SNPs and associated genes provide a starting point for case-control studies in lung cancer patients in different populations.
