A Genetic Variant in the Seed Region of miR-4513 Shows Pleiotropic Effects on Lipid and Glucose Homeostasis, Blood Pressure, and Coronary Artery Disease
ReviewMohsen Ghanbari et al.(2014)· Human Mutation

A comprehensive review of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) genetic variants identified by GWAS studies in cardiometabolic diseases including coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, type 2 diabetes, and blood pressure traits. The review highlights key lncRNA loci such as CDKN2B-AS1/ANRIL at 9p21.3 (rs10757278, rs2891168), MIAT (rs4977574, rs10811661), H19 (rs217727), LOC157273 (rs9987289, rs4841132), KCNQ1OT1 (rs231362), and LINC00243 (rs886424), discussing mechanisms of how genetic variants in non-coding RNA regions influence cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk.

About RXRA

Retinoid X receptors (RXRs) and retinoic acid receptors (RARs) are nuclear receptors that mediate the biological effects of retinoids by their involvement in retinoic acid-mediated gene activation. These receptors function as transcription factors by binding as homodimers or heterodimers to specific sequences in the promoters of target genes. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the steroid and thyroid hormone receptor superfamily of transcriptional regulators. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
