“…MiRNAs are small non-coding conserved RNAs of about 22 nucleotides, which predominantly bind to the 3 0 untranslated region (UTR) of target genes (Bartel, 2009). Recent in vitro studies demonstrated that plasminogen-activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), fibrinogen, tissue factor and factor XI may be regulated by miRNAs, thereby supporting their role in regulating levels of haemostatic factors (Fort et al, 2010;Teruel et al, 2011;Marchand et al, 2012;Salloum-Asfar et al, 2014;Teruel-Montoya et al, 2015).
