57 , 65 Regulation of the 14q32 miRNA cluster As more than 85% of the miRNAs expressed in this region showed a trend for downregulation in schizophrenia, it is reasonable to suggest that these molecules may be co-regulated by a shared mechanism associated with the disorder.

62 This is detectable throughout the developing mouse embryo and the placenta, is enriched in the brain in adult mice 29 , 57 , 62 , 78 and may be significant for the development of higher brain functions in eutherian mammals. 79 The neural function of this cluster is supported by recent research suggesting that coordinated expression of these miRNA, including miR-134 and miR-329, is important for brain function and development.
