Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a serious neurodegenerative disease, and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been linked to its pathogenesis. miR-603, a novel primate-specific miRNA and an intronic miRNA of a human brain highly expressed gene KIAA1217, is implicated in the risk and pathogenesis of AD. The rs11014002 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (C/U), which locates in miR-603 precursor (pre-miR-603), exhibits a...
