Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play vital roles in the regulation of gene expression, a process known as miRNA-induced gene silencing. The human genome codes for many miRNAs, and their biogenesis relies on a handful of genes, including DROSHA, DGCR8, DICER1, and AGO1/2. Germline pathogenic variants (GPVs) in these genes cause at least three distinct genetic syndromes, with clinical manifestations that range from...
