Abstract

Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a common cerebrovascular disease with a high risk of rupture. At present, the mechanisms underlying the formation and rupture of IAs is not clinically clear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are involved in the development of IAs. The present study aimed to determine the efficacy of circulating miRNA‑126 (miR‑126) levels as potential biomarkers for predicting aneurysmal ruptures. The present study searched comparative articles involving circulating miR‑126 levels and intracranial aneurysms through electronic databases from 1980 to February, 2023. Collected variables included the first author's name, covered study period, publication year, total number of patients and age, and number of males. We collected information about the expression levels of circulating miR‑126 in serum. Three articles met the eligibility criteria. The total number of patients was 379 [226 with IA rupture and 153 with non‑rupture or/+ controls (healthy)]. The circulating miR‑126 can be used as a biomarker for predicting aneurysmal rupture. Interestingly, an aneurysmal size >10 mm was associated with an IA rupture.
