The role of microRNAs in human diseases

Abstract

About 20 years have passed since the discovery of the first microRNA (miRNA) and by now microRNAs are implicated in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Since the discovery of the powerful effect miRNAs have on biological processes, it has been suggested that mutations affecting miRNA function may play a role in the pathogenesis of human diseases. Over the past several years microRNAs have been found to play a major role in various human diseases. In addition, many studies aim to apply miRNAs for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in human diseases. In this chapter, we summarize the role of miRNAs in pathological processes and discuss how miRNAs could be used as disease biomarkers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
