Five miRNAs (hsa‐miR‐1307‐3p, hsa‐miR‐3064‐3p, hsa‐miR‐4709‐3p, hsa‐miR‐3615 and hsa‐miR‐637) are able to regulate five already known RP causative genes [Kelch‐like protein 7 (KLHL7), retinol dehydrogenase 11 (RDH11), ceramide kinase like (CERKL), aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein like 1 (AIPL1) and usher syndrome type 1G (USH1G)], as demonstrated by high‐throughput sequencing of RNA isolated by cross‐linking immunoprecipitation; photoactivatable‐ribonucleoside‐enhanced cross‐linking and immunoprecipitation; and crosslinking, ligation and sequencing of hybrids. This evidence concerns the gene CERKL and retinitis pigmentosa 1.
