When the NGS data (Supplementary Table S1) were compared with the list of miRNAs dysregulated in cystic fibrosis (Supplementary Table S2) and the list of miRNAs putatively able to target the 3′-UTR sequences of mRNA involved in CFTR expression (NHERF1, NHERF2, Ezrin and CFTR mRNAs) (Supplementary Table S3), only one miRNA was found to be present in all the lists, namely miR-155-5p. Here, EZR is linked to cystic fibrosis.
