| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
NLR |
| Associated microRNA: |
- |
| Biological function: |
Predicts early neurological deterioration and worse neurological severity; associated with shorter post-stroke survival. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Mechanism not experimentally defined; discussion suggests linkage to host gene FUNDC1 and hypoxia-induced mitophagy/autophagy. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
autophagy (other); mitochondrial function (other) |
| Detected method: |

| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; ROC Analysis; Cohort Study; Survival Analysis; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
Circulating circFUNDC1 predicts early neurological deterioration and differentiates 18-month survival between high vs low expression groups in AIS. |
| Description: |
circFUNDC1 is elevated in plasma of AIS patients across TOAST subtypes and is higher in END than non-END cases. Higher circFUNDC1 is associated with greater neurological deficit scores and predicts shorter 18-month post-stroke survival, supporting its potential as an admission blood biomarker for acute-phase outcome and long-term prognosis. |
