A study in humans identified the mir-628 as significantly associated with activity of daily living fatigue scores, where a negative beta coefficient indicated decreased functionality with higher expression, and this association was validated in both individual and twin-pair level cross-sectional analyses [La Grotta et al. DOI:10.1016/j.mad.2025.112099]. In Wistar rats, the mir-628 was the most significantly upregulated miRNA in skeletal muscle three days after a severe burn injury, suggesting a potential role in the pathogenesis of skeletal muscle wasting [Zhang et al. DOI:10.5505/tjtes.2015.80707].
