  • Introduction: gastric cancer remains a major public health issue as the fourth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide Environmental factors as well as genetic factors play an important role in the development and progression of this disease. With the introduction of microRNA into the genetic domain, these powerful molecules are opening up their place in the genetic domain of disease. miRNAs are small, non-coding molecules involved in various cellular processes, such as cell differentiation and death. Using bioinformatics databases PCNA gene with SNP (rs626) is effective in cell cycle signaling pathways in gastric cancer.
  • Methods: different genetics and environment risk factors can cause this csncer . therefor for fainding more bioinformatic informathion we use miRsnp,NCBI, miRbase,miRWAIK2.0,DAVID database and KEGG pathway
  • Results: in this study , bioinformatics predicted that , this microRNA (has-mir7-1-3p) is expected to target the rs3626 in coding region of the PCNA
  • Conclusion: the expected expression of PCNA and the negative regulatory function of the microRNAs would be expected . hsa-miR-7-1-3p increase and then decrease the expression of its target gene . for this reason ,the hsa-miR-7-1-3p is predicted to have a higher binding capacity to the rs3626 mutant(C) allele than to the dominant (G) allele of this SNP and may therefore be a risky mutant allele and cause cancer
