Abstract

A particular type of endogenous noncoding RNAs known as circular RNAs (circRNAs) has now become possible biomarkers for several diseases because of their stability and tissue-specific expression patterns. CircRNAs might play a role in various of biological processes. The identification of particular circRNAs dysregulated in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) raises the possibility of these molecules serving as biomarkers for the disease’s early diagnosis and treatment. This review mainly summarizes the role and potential of circRNA as a future biomarker in PAH related to congenital heart disease. This study presented several potential circRNA targets as diagnostic biomarkers for PAH, discussed their biological functions, and addressed the challenges that need to be considered for their application in clinical settings.
