Graves' disease (GD) is a disorder marked by an enlarged and overactive thyroid gland (Graves' hyperthyroidism), ocular abnormalities (Graves' orbitopathy; GO), and localized dermopathy (pretibial myxoedema; PTM). It is recognized as the most common cause of hyperthyroidism worldwide. Patients with GD most frequently exhibit elevated thyroid hormone secretion from thyroid cells as a result of autoantibodies acting as thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) agonists. Numerous investigations have examined the elements that contribute to the pathogenesis of GD, focusing on different components, such as molecular factors like non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). NcRNAs represent a type of RNA transcript that, while not encoding proteins, are essential in the regulation of numerous aspects of cellular biology. NcRNAs include major groups, such as circular RNAs (circRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs), all of which are garnering increasing interest in the scientific community. This review will provide a comprehensive analysis of the function of ncRNAs in the development, diagnosis, and treatment of GD, and investigate the latest research in this area.

01:23Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.

Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...
