Abstract excerpt
9p21.3 locus polymorphisms have the strongest correlation with coronary artery disease, but as a noncoding locus, disease connection is enigmatic. The lncRNA ANRIL found in 9p21.3 may regulate vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype to contribute to disease risk. We observed significant heterogeneity in induced pluripotent stem cell-derived VSMCs from patients homozygous for risk versus isogenic knockout or...
