Value of circular RNA in the diagnosis and treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

The prevalence rate of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing year by year and it has become one of the most common chronic liver diseases in the world. Studies have shown that circular RNA (circRNA) is closely associated with NAFLD and is considered a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for NAFLD. This article summarizes the regulatory role of circRNA in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and its value in diagnosis and treatment and points out that circRNA plays an important role in the development and progression of NAFLD and may have important clinical significance in the diagnosis and treatment of NAFLD.
