CDKN2B gene expression is affected by 9p21.3 rs10757278 in CAD patients, six months after the MI

Chromosomal region 9p21.3 is most robustly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) in western European populations. However, heterogeneity in CAD phenotypes leads to uncertainty whether 9p21.3 is associated with stable and/or acute clinical presentations of CAD. 9p21.3 is rich in regulatory elements, but the underlying mechanisms of its actions in CAD remain unclear. We investigate the association of 9p21.3 two haplotype blocks lead...
