The Influence of 3′UTRs on MicroRNA Function Inferred from Human SNP Data

Table 1

Comparison of SNP density on 3′UTRs between miRNA target genes and non-miRNA target genes.

	No. SNPs	No. nucleotides	Density (SNP/kb)	* P value
Non-miRNA target gene with SNPs	47230	8529061	5.538
miRNA target gene with SNPs	54980	13795877	3.985	1.50E-154
