In addition to APOA1-AS, other research has revealed that an increase of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 and lncRNA HIF1A-AS2 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) predicts the occurrence of coronary AS and may be useful as a biomarker of coronary artery disease (CAD; Zhang et al., 2019). This evidence concerns the gene APOA1 and coronary artery disorder.
