A polymorphism at miRNA-122-binding site in the IL-1α 3′UTR is associated with risk of epithelial ovarian cancer

This study suggests that rs3783553 polymorphism may be involved in the susceptibility to epithelial ovarian cancer. It may also be related with the tumor stage and the ability to achieve optimal tumor surgery, while the latter predicts the clinical outcomes for patients as the only independent prognostic factor.
