Inheritance is autosomal recessive and malignancy is frequent. THe frequency is 3 per million individuals in Japan [7460386].

| MIR27A | microRNA 27a | MIR27A can be both a tumor-suppressor and an oncogene. For instance, the expression of miR-27a is significantly lower in acute leukemia compared to normal cells. It has been shown that miRNA-27a inhibits cell growth and promotes apoptosis by targeting 14-3-3θ, a member of 14-3-3 family of anti-apoptotic proteins. [23236401]. Therefore, it acts as a tumor-suppressor in leukemia. However, in gastric cancer mir-27a acts as an oncogene by targeting inhibiting and thus promoting cancer cell growth [18789835]. | Human |
| miR222 | microRNA 222 | miR221 and miR222 downregulate PTEN, a major tumor suppressor and TIMP3, which induces activation of caspases 8 and 9 [19962668]. Thus miR221 and miR222 enhance tumorigenecity in cell lung cancer, gastric cancer and hepatocarcinoma cells [20618998]. | Human |

| MIR217 | microRNA 217 | MIR217 (alias hsa-miR-217) is significantly upregulated in senescent human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) when compared to early passage hMSC, but overall had very low expression levels [18493317]. | Human |
| MIR21 | MIRN21; hsa-mir-21; miR-21; miRNA21 | MIR21 is the most highly expressed microRNA gene in octogenarians and centenarians. MIR21 expression is higher under cardiovascular diseases and lower in centenarian offspring. MIR21 is correlated with C-reactive protein and fibrinogen levels. TGF-βR2 mRNA, a MIR21 target, exhibits the highest expression in leukocytes form a subset of octogenarians. MIR-21 may be a biomarker of inflammation [23041385]. | Human |
| MIR15A | microRNA 15a | MIR15A is a tumor-suppressor downregulated in different types of cancers. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) it is downregulated in 68% of cases [12434020]. MIR15A may post-transcriptionally downregulate the expression of Bcl2, thus inducing apoptosis. Therefore, inactivation of MIR15A and MIR16-1 in CLL lymphocytes results in a reduced apoptosis rate [16166262].
In prostate cancer, MIR15A and MIR16-1 are downregulated, which results in decreased repression of FGF-2, thus promoting tumor expansion and invasiveness [21532615].
MIR15A and MIR16-1 are also downregulated in pituitary adenomas as thier expression exhibits an inverse correlation with tumor diameter, therefore possible influence on tumor growth [15648093]. | Human |
| miR152 | microRNA 152 | MiR152 belongs to miR148/152 cluster and can act as a tumor-suppressor. In ovarian cancer, miR152 suppresses DNMT1 directly and inhibits proliferation of cancer cells. [23318422] The miRNA is downregulated in ovarian cancer cells lines and its downregulation may lead to deregulation of cell proliferation in ovarian cancer. [21971665]
