Experimentally altering microRNA levels in embryos alters adult phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

We previously identified a unique genetic feature of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in human patients and established mouse models, a low to very low level of six microRNAs, miR-19a-3p, miR-361-5p, miR-3613-3p, miR-150-5p, miR-126-3p and miR-499a-5p. We attempted to interfere experimentally in mice with two of them, miR19a-3p and miR499a-5p by microinjecting into zygote pronuclei either the complementary sequence...
