Expression ≥1.5 fold increased among alcoholics relative to control brain. miRNAs linked to the maternally imprinted region 14q32 shown in italics.
represents those miRNAs whose precursors occur in a cluster of 2 (mir-105, mir-29b, mir-516a) transcripts at the same genetic coordinates. (+)=sense direction, (-)=anti-sense direction. Microarray data processed using RMA followed by multiple linear regression. FDR cutoff ≤ 0.3.
