Role and dysregulation of miRNA in patients with Parkinson’s disease

ABSTRACT: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common movement disorder in the aging population, with an estimated prevalence of 1% of people above 60 years old. More recently, PD risk genes, have been found to be regulated by the small non-coding RNAs, (microRNAs or miRNAs), and, as such, may contribute to PD development through a direct regulation on the mitochondrial and immune pathways. Many of these are influenced by epigenetic mechanisms, among which ones mediated by, miRNAs, that regulate gene expression at a post transcriptional level by binding to their 3′ un-translated region (3′ UTR) of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) inducing mRNA degradation and translational repression. This study aimed to identify and characterize miRNA to evaluate their possible deregulation in PD patients compared to
