MIR21 (miR-21, hsa-mir-21), human microRNA gene at 17q23.1 producing a ~22-nt non-coding RNA; an oncomiR up-regulated in nearly all cancers, heart failure, and fibrosis, but a non-specific biomarker claimed by at least 29 diseases.
MIR210
MIR210 (microRNA 210, miR-210), the master hypoxamir on chromosome 11p15.5, is HIF-1α-induced under hypoxia, targets ISCU and EFNA3, is upregulated in most cancers, and serves as a candidate non-invasive liquid-biopsy biomarker.
MIR214
MIR214, or microRNA 214, is a human gene on chromosome 1q24.3 encoding microRNA-214, a non-coding RNA that represses gene expression and acts in cancer, heart, and kidney biology.
MIR22
MIR22 (microRNA 22, hsa-miR-22-3p, MIRN22) is a human microRNA gene at 17p13.3 hosted by MIR22HG; it targets PTEN and TET2, acts context-dependently in cancer, metabolism, and heart disease.
MIR221
MIR221 (microRNA 221, hsa-mir-221) is a human Xp11.3 non-coding RNA gene co-transcribed with miR-222; an oncomiR targeting p27, p57, and PTEN, studied as a cancer biomarker and target of the LNA-i-miR-221 inhibitor.
MIR223
MIR223 (microRNA 223, miR-223) is a human Xq12 non-coding RNA gene encoding a microRNA that regulates myeloid differentiation and innate immunity, acts as oncogene or tumor suppressor by tissue context, and serves as a circulating cancer biomarker.
MIR27A
MIR27A (microRNA 27a, hsa-mir-27a) is a human non-coding RNA gene at 19p13.12 producing the 22-nt miR-27a, which represses target mRNAs via RISC and acts as oncogene or tumor suppressor in cancer.
MIR29A
MIR29A (microRNA 29a, hsa-mir-29a, HGNC:31616) is a human non-coding RNA gene on chromosome 7q32.3 encoding miR-29a, a tumor-suppressive, antifibrotic microRNA clustered with miR-29b-1 and studied as a biomarker in cancer, fibrosis, and HIV-1.
MIR30A
MIR30A (microRNA 30a, HGNC:31624) is a human ncRNA gene at 6q13 producing miR-30a-5p and -3p strands; a miR-30 family tumor suppressor studied in renal cell carcinoma and kidney disease biomarkers.
MIR34A
MIR34A (microRNA 34a, miR-34a) is a human non-coding RNA gene on chromosome 1 encoding a p53-regulated tumor-suppressive microRNA of the miR-34 family; its liposomal mimic MRX34 was the first miRNA cancer therapy tested in patients.
MIR375
MIR375 (miR-375, hsa-mir-375) is a human microRNA gene at 2q35, first identified in pancreatic islets as a regulator of insulin secretion and beta-cell mass, and studied as a circulating diagnostic biomarker in prostate and other cancers.
MIR941-1
MIR941-1 (microRNA 941-1, HGNC:33684) is a human ncRNA gene at 20q13.33 producing miR-941, a human-specific microRNA that arose de novo from tandem repeats one to six million years ago and targets hedgehog and insulin signaling genes.
