ncRNA name | hsa-pre-miR-122/miR-3591 |
ncRNA Category | miRNA |
Disease name | age-related macular degeneration (AMD) |
Species | Homo sapiens |
Tissues/Cell_line | RPE cells (ARPE), brain samples |
Methods | qPCR, TaqMan miRNA assay, luciferase reporter assay, Western blot |
Expression pattern | associated |
Functional description | We identified three variants in miRNAs significantly associated with AMD.rs41292412, is located in a locus in which the forward and reverse DNA strands encode two distinct functional miRNAs, miR-122 and miR-3591, respectively.Reduced expression levels of miR-122-5p in carriers of the rs41292412 minor allele may affect miR-122-5p mediated repression of C3 in liver or serum. |
