A study in humans demonstrated that recreational alcohol consumption significantly altered serum microRNA profiles, with the miR-3145-5p showing a 3.17-fold increase after exposure [Ten Berg et al. DOI:10.1080/1354750X.2018.1499128]. Separately, research in human monozygotic twins identified the miR-3145-5p as differentially expressed, being shared across two pairs of twins, indicating its potential role in distinguishing genetically identical individuals [Xiao et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2019.05.003].
