Abstract excerpt
Genetic variations of microRNA encoding genes influence various sorts of diseases by modifying the expression or activity of microRNAs. MicroRNA 146a is an epigenetic regulator of immune response through controlling the type I interferon (IFN) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathways. Genetic variations of microRNA 146a impact the susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and its clinical...
