Abstract

Research into the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of childhood-related diseases is the key to reducing their morbidity and mortality. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play critical roles, both in physiology and pathology, and there is ample evidence to show that they play varying roles in tissue development and gene regulation. Studies on circRNAs in different childhood-related diseases have confirmed their great potential for disease prevention and treatment. These breakthroughs highlight the pathological role of circRNAs in cancers, as well as cardiovascular and hereditary childhood illnesses. In this review, we summarize the role of circRNAs in childhood-related diseases and cancer, and provide an update of the possible diagnostic and therapeutic application of circRNAs.
