It has been put forward earlier that hypothyroidism increases the risk of atherogenesis and coronary artery diseases through various mechanisms like a decreased expression of Ca2+-ATPase in sarcoplasmic reticulum or disinhibition of ATPase by increased expression of phospholamban or modulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis [22]. Here, DNAH8 is linked to hypothyroidism.
