BACKGROUND: The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathogenesis of rare genetic disorders has been gradually discovered. MiRNAs, a class of small non-coding RNAs, regulate gene expression by silencing target messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Their biogenesis involves transcription into primary miRNA (pri-miRNA), processing by the DROSHA-DGCR8 (DiGeorge syndrome critical region 8) complex, exportation to the cytoplasm, and...
