Considering the genes interacting with miR-1193, one is included in the GO:0071559 category and encodes cysteine protease USP15 (ubiquitin-specific protease 15), which is significantly expressed at low levels in the chronic myelogenous leukemia cell lines and peripheral blood mononuclear cells of affected patients [56]. Here, USP15 is linked to chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive.
