With a growing body of evidence establishing circular RNAs (circRNAs) are widely exploited in eukaryotic cells and have a significant contribution in the occurrence and development of many complex human diseases. Disease-associated circRNAs can serve as clinical diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, providing novel ideas for biopharmaceutical research. However, available computation methods for predicting circRNA-disease associations (CDAs) do not sufficiently consider the contextual information of biological network nodes, making their performance limited. In this work, we propose a multi-hop attention graph neural network-based approach MAGCDA to infer potential CDAs. Specifically, we first construct a multi-source attribute heterogeneous network of circRNAs and diseases, then use a multi-hop strategy of graph nodes to deeply aggregate node context information through attention diffusion, thus enhancing topological structure information and mining data hidden features, and finally use random forest to accurately infer potential CDAs. In the four gold standard data sets, MAGCDA achieved prediction accuracy of 92.58%, 91.42%, 83.46% and 91.12%, respectively. MAGCDA has also presented prominent achievements in ablation experiments and in comparisons with other models. Additionally, 18 and 17 potential circRNAs in top 20 predicted scores for MAGCDA prediction scores were confirmed in case studies of the complex diseases breast cancer and Almozheimer's disease, respectively. These results suggest that MAGCDA can be a practical tool to explore potential disease-associated circRNAs and provide a theoretical basis for disease diagnosis and treatment.
