Vausort et al. identified three circulating lncRNAs (aHIF, KCNQ1OT1, and MALAT1) upregulated and one downregulated (ANRIL) in patients with myocardial infarction, but again all lncRNAs were inferior in predicting MI than conventional troponin assays (Vausort et al., 2014). Here, KCNQ1OT1 is linked to myocardial infarction.
