Abstract excerpt
The 9p21.3 locus is the best replicated region to date for coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated the association of 9p21.3 common variants with CAD, candidate gene expression including ANRIL, a non-coding RNA, followed by in vitro validation. Five variants, rs10757278, rs10757274, rs2383206, rs1333049 and rs4977574 were genotyped in 1,034 cases and 1,034 controls. Gene expression of C9orf5, MTAP1, MTAP...
