Bovine leukemia virus pre-miRNA genes' polymorphism.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs with a wide distribution in nature among the living things. They play a key role both in normal signaling pathways and in pathological ones. Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is an oncogenic retrovirus of Deltaretrovirus genus causing persistent infection in its natural hosts - cattle, zebu and water buffalo with diverse clinical manifestations through the defeat of B-lymphocytes (B-cells). Ten BLV encoded miRNAs (further miRs-B) transcribed from five different pre-miRNA (further pre-miR-B) genes are abundantly detected in BLV infected B-cells. Here we report about several alleles of each of pre-miRs-B' genes, some of which have a highly significant association with an increase or a decrease of the number of leukocytes (WBCs - white blood cells) in BLV-infected cows.
