Article Synopsis
  • Obesity is a major global health issue, and circRNAs (circular RNAs) may play a crucial role in regulating the processes related to fat cell development, yet have been under-researched in white adipose tissue.* -
  • This study identified 3,771 circRNAs across different stages of fat cell formation, finding that nearly 10% of adipocyte-expressed genes also produce circRNAs, with many showing a high correlation in their expression levels.* -
  • The research highlighted 41 differentially expressed circRNAs during adipogenesis, suggesting they could influence their parent genes' function and may act as miRNA sponges, providing new insights into fat cell regulation.*

Purpose: To investigate whether the PAX6, Lumican, and MYOC genes are related to high myopia in Han Chinese since the association between these genes and high myopia is unclear in this patient population.

Methods: Peripheral venous blood samples were collected for DNA extraction from 220 subjects with high myopia (refractive error ≤-10.00 D) vs.
