Core Tip

Core tip: Rno_circ_0005139, miR-324-3p, and Wnt5a play regulatory roles in the pathogenesis of anorectal malformations (ARM). Rno_circ_0005139 is a potential biomarker or therapeutic target in the ARM. In general, this study provides an important basis for further studies on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of ARM.
