Notably, mutations within CFL2 precipitate nemaline myopathy type 7, a specific congenital myopathy.[47] Matrix metallopeptidase 9, also acknowledged as matrix metallopeptidase 9, assumes a pivotal role in atherosclerosis pathogenesis.[48] Analogously, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator shares functional parallels with ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 1. This evidence concerns the gene CFL2 and atherosclerosis.
