Identification and functional analysis of differential miRNAs in young and middle-aged adults with essential hypertension: exploring potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets

GPCPD1, regulated by hsa-miR-10b-5p, is a potential risk factor for EH, while CDKN1B, PDGFRA, and THBS2, regulated by upregulated miRNAs, may act as protective factors. These findings suggest new biomarkers and therapeutic targets for hypertension.
