miR-96 microRNA precursor is a small non-coding RNA that regulates gene expression. microRNAs are transcribed as ~80 nucleotide precursors and subsequently processed by the Dicer enzyme to give a ~23 nucleotide products. In this case the mature sequence comes from the 5' arm of the precursor. [1] The mature products are thought to have regulatory roles through complementarity to mRNA. These microRNAs are expressed specifically in the inner ear and the adult eye.[2][3]

miR-96 is thought to be conserved within Nephrozoa, i.e. the Deuterostomes and Protostomes. [4]

Variation within the seed region of mature miR-96 has been associated with autosomal dominant, progressive hearing loss in humans and mice. The homozygous mutant mice were profoundly deaf, showing no cochlear responses. [5] [6] [7]
