microRNAs associated with
Clinical Traits and Diseases
The association of miRNAs with clinical traits and diseases can be investigated through various approaches. In our studies, we have endeavored to identify miRNAs that are associated with various clinical outcomes by linking plasma levels of circulating miRNAs to the specific trait or disease of interest. Additionally, we have examined the association of miRNA-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including miRNA expression quantitative trait loci (miRNA-eQTLs), SNPs in miRNA-encoding sequences, and SNPs in miRNA-binding sites, with different clinical outcome. Upon discovering an association between a miRNA and a disease, we have established a pipeline for further confirmation. This includes conducting additional in-silico and in-vitro experiments, identifying potential target genes and pathways, and assessing the biomarker potential of the miRNA within a population-based setting. Our studies have yielded significant findings, revealing numerous miRNAs that are associated with clinical traits and diseases. These findings are compiled and accessible by clicking on the name of the specific trait or disease below.
