Given that angio-lncRNAs are essential regulators of angiogenesis and that growing studies have shed light on their critical role in atherosclerosis and CAD [30], we genotyped for the first time five variants of angiogenesis-related lncRNAs (PUNISHER, SENCR, MIAT, MALAT1, and GATA) to investigate their putative association with CAD risk and/or severity. The gene discussed is MIAT; the disease is coronary artery disorder.
