In this context, this study aimed to explore the potential diagnostic value of maternal circulating long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in ventricular septal defect (VSD).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> The potential of lncRNAs as non-invasive prenatal biomarkers for VSD was evaluated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The biological processes and regulatory network of these lncRNAs were elucidated through bioinformatics analysis.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Three lncRNAs (LINC00598, LINC01551, and GATA3-AS1) were found to be consistent in both maternal plasma and amniotic fluid. These lncRNAs exhibited strong diagnostic performance for VSD, with AUC values of 0.852, 0.957, and 0.864, respectively. The bioinformatics analysis revealed the involvement of these lncRNAs in heart morphogenesis, actin cytoskeleton organization, cell cycle regulation, and protein binding through a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network at the post-transcriptional level.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> The cell-free lncRNAs present in the amniotic fluid have the potential to be released into the maternal circulation, making them promising candidates for investigating epigenetic regulation in VSD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fgene.2023.1254829","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,6]],"date-time":"2023-09-06T17:24:37Z","timestamp":1694021077000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Maternal body fluid lncRNAs serve as biomarkers to diagnose ventricular septal defect: from amniotic fluid to plasma"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Huaming","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xi","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinda","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinxiu","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shaozheng","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guorong","family":"Lyu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"139","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hfc.2021.07.016","article-title":"Genetics in congenital heart diseases: unraveling the link between cardiac morphogenesis, heart muscle disease, and electrical disorders","volume":"18","author":"Baban","year":"2022","journal-title":"Heart Fail.
