Response to Veitia et al.

GLO:1VT/16aug21:embj2021108671-toc-0001.jpg PHOTO (COLOR): . gl Previously, we provided experimental evidence demonstrating the discriminative miRNA targeting of a mutated site within the coding sequence of a variant allele (c.402C>G; p.C134W) of the tumor-suppressor gene I FOXL2 i that results in lower expression levels of the variant I FOXL2 i mRNA (Shin I et al i , 2020). Our I in vivo i genome-editing results clearly demonstrate that miR-1236 is an endogenous functional miRNA that specifically downregulates variant I FOXL2 i mRNA (Shin I et al i , 2020). We disagree with the claims of Veitia I et al i based on the simple interpretation of the height of the electropherograms obtained from the Sanger sequencing analysis (fig 1of Veitia I et al i ).
