microRNA single polynucleotide polymorphism influences on microRNA biogenesis and mRNA target specificity.

Abstract excerpt

microRNAs (miRNAs) are nowadays recognized as an essential component of gene regulatory networks. Furthermore, deregulation of miRNAs expression often contributes to human pathologies. Recently, a substantial number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) and rare mutations within pri-, pre- and mature miRNA sequences have been reported. These miRNA SNPs have often been associated with human disease. However,...
