Abstract excerpt
The complementary interaction of microRNAs (miRNAs) with their binding sites in the 3'untranslated regions (3'UTRs) of target gene mRNAs represses translation, playing a leading role in gene expression control. MiRNA recognition elements (MREs) in the 3'UTRs of genes often contain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which can change the binding affinity for target miRNAs leading to dysregulated gene...
