Deciphering the role of precursor miR-12136 and miR-8485 in the progression of intellectual disability (ID).

ABSTRACT: The short, non-coding RNAs known as miRNA modulate the expression of human protein-coding genes. About 90 % of genes in humans are controlled by the expression of miRNA. The dysfunction of these miRNA target genes leads to many human diseases, including neurodevelopmental disorders as well. Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by adaptive behavior and intellectual functioning which includes logical reasoning, ability in learning, practical intelligence, and verbal skills. Identification of miRNA involved in ID and their associated target genes can help in the identification of diagnostic biomarkers related to ID at a very early age. The present study is an attempt to identify miRNA and their associated target genes that play an important role
