Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES: MiRSNPs may interfere with mRNA stability through effects on microRNAs (miRNAs)-mRNA interactions via direct changes in miRNA binding site or effect on the secondary structure of this region and changes in accessibility of this region to miRNAs. Studies have confirmed that an elevated level of interleukin-15 receptor alpha (IL-15RA) has an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic...
