Abstract excerpt
Understanding the genetic effects on non-coding RNA (ncRNA) expression facilitates functional characterization of disease-associated genetic loci. Among several classes of ncRNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs) are key post-transcriptional gene regulators. Despite its biological importance, previous studies on the genetic architecture of miRNA expression focused mostly on the European individuals, underrepresented in other...
