Abstract excerpt
miR-138 modulates cardiac morphogenesis in zebrafish. We explored whether a genetic polymorphism in miR-138 might contribute to the occurrence of sporadic congenital heart disease (CHD) and the potential mechanism. We performed a case-control study consisting of 857 CHD cases and 938 non-CHD controls by genotyping miR-138 in a Chinese population. Two SNPs, including rare rs139365823 located in the pre-miR-138...
