An Expanded Role for HLA Genes: HLA-B Encodes a microRNA that Regulates IgA and Other Immune Response Transcripts

We describe a novel functional role for the HLA-B locus mediated by its intron-encoded microRNA (miRNA), miR-6891-5p. We show that in vitro inhibition of miR-6891-5p impacts the expression of nearly 200 transcripts within the B-lymphoblastoid cell line (B-LCL) COX, affecting a large number of metabo...
