miR-939-5p decreases the enrichment of RNA polymerase II in the promoter region of CD2AP involved in nephrotic syndrome.

The expression changes of CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) can lead to kidney diseases with proteinuria, including nephrotic syndrome (NS). A recent study reported that miRNAs may be important transcriptional regulators. In this study, we found increased expression of miR-939-5p and decreased expression of CD2AP in the peripheral blood of patients with NS.
