MIAT and myocardial infarction: Examples of disease-associated lncRNAs include Mhrt which is a lncRNA that targets the chromatin modifying complex protein Brg1 and whose reduced expression is associated with cardiomyopathy [17], while MIAT (myocardial infarction-associated transcript) encodes for a 9 kilobase (Kb) transcript that contains 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), one of which is associated with increased levels of the Miat transcript levels and higher morbidity outcomes in MI patients [18].
