▶The association of common polymorphisms in miR-196a2 with waist to hip ratio and miR-1908 with serum lipid and glucoseAssociationN=73,014Mohsen Ghanbari et al.(2015)· Obesity
Two miRNA genetic variants were identified as significantly associated with cardiometabolic phenotypes: rs11614913 in miR-196a2 associated with waist-to-hip ratio (P=1.7e-25), and rs174561 in miR-1908 associated with lipid and glucose traits. Functional analyses revealed these variants affect pre-miRNA processing and regulate target genes involved in fat distribution and lipid metabolism.
About WDR26
This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. Two transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
