Given the fundamental roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in physiological, developmental, and pathologic processes, we hypothesized that genes involved in miRNA biogenesis contribute to human complex traits. For 13 such genes, we evaluated the relationship between transcription and 2 classes of complex traits, namely cellular growth and sensitivity to various chemotherapeutic agents in a set of lymphoblastoid cell lines. We found a highly significant correlation between argonaute RNA-induced silencing ...[more]
