Copy number variations burden on miRNA genes reveals layers of complexities involved in the regulation of pathways and phenotypic expression.
MicroRNAs are involved in post-transcriptional down-regulation of gene expression. Variations in miRNA genes can severely affect downstream-regulated genes and their pathways. However, population-specific burden of CNVs on miRNA genes and the complexities created towards the phenotype is not known....
