Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the C allele of the mir-548ax rs1061541 was a protective factor against non-small-cell lung cancer (allele odds ratio=0.22) [Zheng et al. DOI:10.2147/CMAR.S163395]. A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-548ax was differentially expressed and shared across two pairs of monozygotic twins, with its expression profile analyzed via miRNA microarray and validated by qRT-PCR, indicating its potential role in distinguishing genetically identical individuals [Xiao et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2019.05.003].
