With advances in high-throughput sequencing, single-cell omics, and epigenetic profiling, accumulating evidence suggests that lncRNAs participate in transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and structural remodeling processes underlying cardiac morphogenesis. This in-depth review summarizes recent progress in elucidating the roles of lncRNAs in heart development and congenital heart disease pathogenesis. Specifically, we discuss how lncRNAs modulate key developmental signaling pathways, including Notch, Wnt\/\u03b2-catenin, BMP, and TGF-\u03b2, through interactions with chromatin modifiers, transcription factors, and microRNAs. Representative cardiac-enriched lncRNAs, such as\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Braveheart<\/jats:italic>\n                      ,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Fendrr<\/jats:italic>\n                      ,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">CARMEN<\/jats:italic>\n                      ,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">H19<\/jats:italic>\n                      ,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">MALAT1<\/jats:italic>\n                      , and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">TBX5-AS1,<\/jats:italic>\n                      are highlighted for their roles in cardiomyocyte lineage commitment, endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, endocardial\u2013myocardial interactions, and structural morphogenesis. In various congenital heart disease subtypes, including ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome, lncRNAs exhibit disease-specific expression patterns and participate in regulatory networks involving alternative splicing, competing endogenous RNA interactions, and genomic structural variations. Moreover, circulating and exosomal lncRNAs detected in maternal plasma and amniotic fluid have shown promise as candidate biomarkers for prenatal diagnoses. Collectively, these findings reveal that lncRNAs function as multilayered regulators, linking genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors during cardiac development. A deeper understanding of lncRNA-mediated mechanisms may provide novel molecular targets, biomarkers, and diagnostic strategies for precision prevention and management of newborn infants with congenital heart disease.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1161\/circgen.125.005691","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,2]],"date-time":"2026-10-02T09:01:13Z","timestamp":1790931673000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Decoding Long Noncoding RNAs in Cardiac Development and Congenital Heart Disease: Recent Advances and Clinical Perspectives"],"prefix":"10.1161","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-8921-1828","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ying","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Center for Reproductive Medicine, Zhejiang Provincial People\u2019s Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College, China (Y.Z.)."},{"name":"Neonatal Congenital Heart Laboratory, Cardiovascular Research Laboratories, David Geffen School of Medicine (Y.Z., M.T.)."},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, David Geffen School of Medicine (Y.Z., M.T.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9013-0228","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Aldons J.","family":"Lusis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics, and Human Genetics, David Geffen School of Medicine (A.J.L.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2827-4068","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Marlin","family":"Touma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Congenital Heart Laboratory, Cardiovascular Research Laboratories, David Geffen School of Medicine (Y.Z., M.T.)."},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, David Geffen School of Medicine (Y.Z., M.T.)."},{"name":"Molecular Biology Institute (M.T.)."},{"name":"Eli and Edyth Broad Stem Cell Research Center (M.T.)."},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Children\u2019s Discovery and Innovation Institute, University of California, Los Angeles (M.T.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2025.1522644"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.113.008396"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0735-1097(02)01886-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/medgen-2025-2008"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.2419992122"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCGEN.122.003791"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.061245"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2021.640729"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacadv.2025.102176"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cjcpc.2023.10.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ncrna.2025.01.004"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41580-020-00315-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-genom-112921-123710"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41580-022-00566-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2024.10.024"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-biochem-051410-092902"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2011.07.014"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1631\/jzus.B2300497"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_20_2","article-title":"Heterogeneous network and graph attention auto-encoder for LncRNA\u2013disease association prediction.","author":"Liu JX","unstructured":"Liu JX, Xi WY, Dai LY, Zheng CH, Gao YL.
