PD-related miRNAs have been characterized in midbrain dopaminergic neurons (Kim et al., 2007; Minones-Moyano et al., 2011), and were found to post-transcriptionally regulate the key PD genes LRRK2 (Gehrke et al., 2010) and SNCA (Doxakis, 2010). This evidence concerns the gene SNCA and Parkinson disease.
