KPNB1 and hereditary elliptocytosis: In the present study, 6 circRNAs (novel_circ_0033045, novel_circ_0003094, novel_circ_0007224, nov-el_circ_0015526, novel_circ_0003851, and novel_circ_0011620,) as well as CUEDC1 and KPNB1 jointly targeted miR-29a/b and were significantly downregulated in the QE vs. HE groups.
