This is the first study to compare miRNA expression in the heart of pediatric DCM patients to age-matched healthy controls by RNA sequencing. Expression of a subset of miRNAs is uniquely dysregulated in children. Using mRNA-seq and miRNA-seq from matched samples, target prediction was performed. This study underscores the importance of pediatric-focused studies.
