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.
