While the roles for upstream regulators of QKI, hsa-miR-208b-3p and hsa-miR-208a-3p, in glioma have not yet been described, another miRNA that affects schizophrenia risk, hsa-miR-494-5p, is a definite glioma suppressor (Li et al., 2015; Zhang et al., 2015; Xu et al., 2018). This evidence concerns the gene QKI and central nervous system cancer.
