AGTR1 and atherosclerosis: Some genes are potential biomarkers or associated with other cardiovascular diseases, such as AGTR1 (angiotensin II receptor, type 1) in coronary occlusive disease (Baños et al., 2011), CCR5 in pulmonary arterial hypertension (Amsellem et al., 2014), LTA (lymphotoxin alpha) in CAD (Topol et al., 2006), and PRKCA (protein kinase C, alpha) in atherosclerosis (Konopatskaya and Poole, 2010).
