Altogether, this study confirms that PPE causes chondrodysplasia and susceptibility to osteoarthritis by altering the circGtdc1‐Srsf1‐Fn1 axis; in vivo, overexpression of circGtdc1 can represent an effective intervention target for ameliorating PPE‐induced chondrodysplasia. Here, SRSF1 is linked to osteoarthritis.
