Although the function of CDKN2BAS is not well elucidated, recent GWASs of several common diseases (coronary artery disease [76], type 2 diabetes [76], aortic aneurysm [77], intra-cranial aneurysm [76], endometriosis [78], glioma [79], [80]) have revealed associations with this long non-coding region. This evidence concerns the gene CDKN2B-AS1 and coronary artery disorder.
