The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of two polymorphisms of the hsa-miR-30e, in sPHPT tumorigenesis. Patients and Methods: One-hundred twenty sPHPT patients, 77 presenting a single adenoma and 43 with MGD, and 54 healthy controls were genotyped. The SNPs were identified using the allelespecific PCR methodology, while the hsa-miR-30e expression was analyzed by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR. Results: Hsa-miR-30e expression was found to be significantly higher in patients with MGD compared to patients with single adenomas (p=0.0019), but no differences were found regarding specific genotype carriers. The genotype frequencies for ss178077483 and rs7556088 were significantly different between patients and healthy controls. Conclusion: Although the polymorphisms cannot be used as biomarkers for the differential diagnosis of MGD, hsa-miR- 30e expression could potentially serve as a biomarker for this purpose. © 2019 International Institute of Anticancer Research.
