We first examined if NEIL3 gene expression was regulated in clinical atherosclerosis by assessing transcript levels in human carotid plaques of two different study populations (i.e., Biobank of Karolinska Endarterectomies [BiKE] of Stockholm [Supplementary Table S1]10 and Biobank of Oslo [Supplementary Table S2]). The gene discussed is NEIL3; the disease is atherosclerosis.
