Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in heart development. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNAs have been shown to associate with congenital heart disease (CHD). Methionine synthase (MTR), a key enzyme of folate metabolism, is involved in the early embryonic development. In this study, we aimed to test whether MTR is a direct target of miR-499, and to estimate the associations between miR-499...
