Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the SNP rs10760371 within miR-181a was nominally associated with methamphetamine use disorder with psychosis [Sun et al. DOI:10.1016/j.neulet.2019.134725]. A study in mice demonstrated that the mir-181a-1 was one of the top 20 most abundant known miRNAs in the thymus and was identified as part of the response to ionizing radiation-induced thymus injury [Chen et al. DOI:10.1080/09553002.2016.1207821]. In human plasma, the mir-181a-1 was significantly downregulated in patients with coronary artery disease, where it was associated with cardiometabolic gene regulation [Zhong et al. DOI:10.1002/jcla.23020].
