Highly expressed miR-210 in the peripheral blood is closely associated with asphyxiated neonates.

Background: In the present study, we aimed to detect microRNA-210 (miR-210) expression in the peripheral blood of neonates with asphyxia and determine the correlation between miR-210 and clinical manifestations and indicators related to pathological changes. Further, we performed Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses of the potential target genes of miR-210 to examine their related diseases and network interactions.

Methods: In total, 27 neonates with asphyxia were included in the asphyxia group and 26 healthy neonates were included in the normal group.
