Medulloblastoma (MB) develops through various genetic, epigenetic, and non-coding (nc) RNA-related mechanisms, but the roles played by ncRNAs, particularly circular RNAs (circRNAs), remain poorly defined. CircRNAs are increasingly recognized as stable non-coding RNA therapeutic targets in many cancers, but little is known about their function in MBs. To determine medulloblastoma subgroup-specific circRNAs, publicly available RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data from 175 MB patients were interrogated to identify circRNAs that differentiate between MB subgroups...
