Abstract: Nat Med. 2019 Apr;25(4):583–590. PMID: 30804514In brief: This study describes the first skeletal dysplasia caused by a mutation in a microRNA that is not simply inactivating, but modifies the repertoire of target genes.Comment: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (20–24 nucleotides) noncoding RNA molecules that post-transcriptio...
