In addition, suggestive associations were found between the expression levels of DHX36 in whole blood cells (P = 5.96 × 10−5), TCF21 in the tibial artery (P = 8.85 × 10−5) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (P = 7.76 × 10−5), ARL3 in whole blood cells (P = 8.64 × 10−5), MAPKAPK5 in whole blood cells (P = 7.44 × 10−5), and CFDP1 in whole blood cells (P = 8.71 × 10−5) and CAD. Here, TCF21 is linked to coronary artery disorder.
