Analysis of atherosclerosis- and cardiac-related lncRNAs levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from CAD patients and healthy individuals revealed that three lncRNAs, KCNQ1OT1, HIF1A-AS2, and APO1, are significantly increased in patients when compared with the healthy controls [55]. This evidence concerns the gene HIF1A and coronary artery disorder.
