miRNA Genetic Variants Alter Their Secondary Structure and Expression in Patients With RASopathies Syndromes

RASopathies are a group of rare genetic diseases caused by germline mutations in genes involved in the RAS–mitogen-activated protein kinase (RAS-MAPK) pathway. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) is a powerful approach for identifying new variants in coding and noncoding DNA sequences, including miRNAs. mi...
