Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: MyomiRs miR-499, miR-208a and miR-208b direct cardiac myosin gene expression. Sequence complementarity between miRs and their mRNA targets determines miR effects, but the functional consequences of human myomiR sequence variants are unknown. OBJECTIVE: To identify and investigate mutations in human myomiRs in order to better understand how and to what extent naturally-occurring sequence variation can...
