High-throughput sequencing was used for RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis, alternative splicing (AS) analysis, functional enrichment analysis, co-expression of RBPs, and alternative splicing events (ASEs) analysis were conducted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The MVP patients exhibited 306 up-regulated genes and 198 down-regulated genes.  All down- and up-regulated genes were enriched in both Gene Ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. Furthermore, MVP was closely associated with the top 10 enriched terms and pathways. In MVP patients, 2,288 RASEs were found to be significantly different, and four suitable RASEs (CARD11 A3ss, RBM5 ES, NCF1 A5SS, and DAXX A3ss) were tested. We identified 13 RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) from the DEGs and screened out four RBPs (ZFP36, HSPA1A, TRIM21, and P2RX7). We selected four RASEs based on the co-expression analyses of RBPs and RASEs, including exon skipping (ES) of DEDD2, alternative 3\u2032 splice site (A3SS) of ETV6, mutually exclusive 3\u2032UTRs (3pMXE) of TNFAIP8L2, and A3SS of HLA-B. Furthermore, the selected four RBPs and four RASEs were validated by reverse transcription\u2013quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and showed high consistency with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Dysregulated RBPs and their associated RASEs may play regulatory roles in MVP development and may therefore be
