miRNA-143-5p has been implicated in the pathophysiology of cancer (including colon and pancreatic cancers) and schizophrenia-related disorders [42, 43], and its effects on various target genes, such as EMC2, VWC2L, THY1, SGCZ, HIF1, and JDP2, among others, have been described. This evidence concerns the gene HIF1A and familial pancreatic carcinoma.
