What Are Some Pediatric Diseases Linked to RNA Silencing?

Certain pediatric diseases have been linked to dysregulation of RNA silencing mechanisms. For example:
- [Neuroblastoma](https://): Studies have shown that specific miRNAs are dysregulated in neuroblastoma, a common pediatric cancer.
- [Congenital Heart Defects](https://): miRNAs play a critical role in heart development, and aberrations can lead to congenital heart defects.
- [Viral Infections](https://): RNA silencing is a defense mechanism against viral infections. Understanding this process can aid in developing antiviral therapies.
