| خلاصه مقاله | Single nucleotide polymorphism (miR-SNPs) in miRNAs coding
genes or target sites are implicated in pathogenesis of various
disease. Such miR-SNPs may have significant role, due
to the alteration of miRNA function, and can be a diagnostic
marker. However, the role of miR-SNPs has not well understood
in the progression of Huntington’s disease (HD).
Here, we implemented a bioinformatic approach to identify
miR-SNPs involved in HD. In a comprehensive study, miRNAs
and related genes were examined from Gene Expression
Omnibus (GEO) database and previous studies. On the other
hand, SNPs located in target site of miRNAs were obtained
from PolymiRTS and miRdSNP databases. Supporting the results,
miRNA: mRNA: SNPs were further evaluated for their
involvement in HD. Therefore, by in silico analysis some miRSNP
such as miR-200a:rs9055: REST, miR-146a:rs2910164:
FDFT1, miR:141:rs2234975: SIRT1 were identified which
may have functional roles in pathogenesis of HD. Results
showed that candidate miR-SNPs may affect regulation of
target genes by modifying miRNAs function. In this study, a
number of novel miR-SNPs introduced which could be considered
by researchers for experimentally and validation studies. |
