| Expression pattern: |
DN |
| Associated gene: |
IKZF3, SMAD8 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miRNA-6727-3p |
| Biological function: |
Candidate MS blood biomarker; decreased expression is associated with higher disability and progressive forms of MS. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Predicted ceRNA mechanism: binds miRNA-6727-3p and potentially affects IKZF3 expression. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
ceRNA regulation (other); immune regulation (other) |
| Detected method: |
Q
M
|
| Validation methods: |
Microarray; RT-qPCR; divergent primers PCR; Clinical Sample Validation; ROC Analysis; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
Downregulated in MS PBMCs; further decreased in higher disability and progressive MS; high diagnostic performance by ROC (AUC 0.948). |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0018905 is down-regulated in MS PBMCs and shows further reduction with greater disability and progressive MS forms. It has strong diagnostic potential by ROC analysis and is predicted to participate in a ceRNA axis involving miRNA-6727-3p and IKZF3. |
| Confidence score: |
0.5963 |
