Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: circSirt1 can ameliorate neointimal hyperplasia and provide protection against atherosclerosis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in circRNA flanking introns, particularly within Alu elements, may alter back-splicing and influence circRNA formation efficiency. To investigate the association between polymorphisms in the circSirt1 flanking introns and susceptibility to myocardial infarction (MI),...
