The role of CDKN2B-AS1 in AMI has not been clearly stablished but it has been proposed that CDKN2B-AS1 is mostly expressed by lymphocytes after MI because it is expressed both by lymphocytes and by monocytes in healthy donors and it is positively associated with lymphocyte count in patients with MI. Here, CDKN2B is linked to myocardial infarction.
