Gain-of-function mutation of microRNA-140 in human skeletal dysplasia

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. Heterozygous loss-of-function point mutations of miRNA genes are associated with several human congenital disorders 1–5 , but neomorphic (gain-of-new-function) mutations in miRNAs due to nucleotide substitutions have not been...
