Answer #1

miRNAs are single stranded ahort RNAs which regulate mRNA expression at post transcriptional stage. mi RNA dysregulation hasbeen sen in many diseases like chronic lymphocytic leukomia, lung and breast cancer. Cause of dysregulation involve deletion or mutation which affect miRNA processing or amplification. For example,

miR-17-92 cluster,comprising of six miRNAs amplified in lymphoma. This cluster helps development of lung and differentiation of hematopoitic ceils.  miR-17-92 is transactivated by MYC, oncogene . Chromosomal translocation and juxtaposition of immunoglobulin enhancer cause dysregulation of mi RNA and thereby cause Burkitt lymphoma.  

Dysregulation during processing of critical pathway results in loss of expression in miRNAs.

miR 15/16 loss gene expression in case of deletion of 11q23 in all human CLLs.
