Approved Name
MIR137 host gene (HGNC:42871)

NR_046105
Characteristics
MIR137, transcribed as the microRNA miR-137, is one of the leading candidate schizophrenia susceptibility genes to arise from large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of the disorder.[1] Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified the chromosome 1 region containing MIR137 host gene (MIR137HG) as a susceptibility locus for schizophrenia. [2] rs1625579, within the host gene (MIR137HG) was identified as the top new associated SNP in the first large schizophrenia genome-wide association study (GWAS). [3]
Function
Evidence suggests that microRNA-137 (miR-137) is involved in the genetic basis of schizophrenia. Risk variants within the miR-137 host gene (MIR137HG) influence structural and functional brain-imaging measures, and miR-137 itself is predicted to regulate hundreds of genes. Functional studies indicate that miR-137 is involved in controlling neuronal proliferation, differentiation and dendritic arborization, all of which are important for proper neurogenesis, a process implicated in schizophrenia. RNA expression studies suggest that miR-137 regulates expression of genes involved in schizophrenia-relevant pathways as well as neuronal differentiation. Bioinformatics studies indicate that a significant number of target genes are associated with schizophrenia risk and further predict that the miRNA regulates many schizophrenia-relevant pathways.[3]
Expression
miR-137 is expressed in both the developing and adult brain, where it has been shown to play an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. [4]
