MicroRNAs, crucial in regulating protein-coding gene expression, are implicated in various diseases. We performed a genome-wide association study of plasma miRNAs (ex-miRNAs) in 3,743 Framingham Heart Study (FHS) participants and identified 1,027 ex-miRNA-eQTLs (exQTLs) for 37 ex-miRNAs, with 55% replication in an independent study. Colocalization analyses suggested potential genetic coregulation of ex-miRNAs with whole blood mRNAs.

Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are linked to the onset and progression of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), thus representing potential disease biomarkers. In this study, we employed a multiplatform sequencing approach to analyze circulating miRNAs in an extended cohort of prospectively evaluated recent-onset T1DM individuals from the INNODIA consortium. Our findings reveal that a set of miRNAs located within T1DM susceptibility chromosomal locus 14q32 distinguishes two subgroups of individuals.

We compared circulating miRNA profiles of hospitalized COVID-positive patients (n = 104), 27 with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (n = 18) to identify miRNA signatures associated with COVID and COVID-induced ARDS. Meta-analysis incorporating data from published studies and our data was performed to identify a set of differentially expressed miRNAs in (1) COVID-positive patients versus healthy controls as well as (2) severe (ARDS) COVID vs moderate COVID. Gene ontology enrichment analysis of the genes these miRNAs interact with identified terms associated with immune response, such as interferon and interleukin signaling, as well as viral genome activities associated with COVID disease and severity.

MEG3, a significant long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), substantially functions in diverse biological processes, particularly breast cancer (BC) development. Within the imprinting DLK-MEG3 region on human chromosomal region 14q32.3, MEG3 spans 35 kb and encompasses ten exons.
