Abstract excerpt
Nonsyndromic oral cleft is a common developmental malformation of humans. Embryonic development is regulated by microRNAs. MicroRNA-140-5p (miR-140-5p) was found to regulate palatal development. As sequence variants in miRNA genes are likely to affect miRNA expression and/or maturation, we investigated the miRNA-140 gene and identified a SNP (rs7205289: C>A) located in precursor miRNA-140. We carried out a...
