Abstract excerpt
microRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that function as post-transcriptional regulators of cardiac development and cardiovascular diseases. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA genes are a novel class of genetic variations in the human genome that confer the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Here, we identified a polymorphism A→G (rs3746444) in miR-499 precursor (pre-miR-499) that affects the maturation...
