Functional rs12190287 polymorphisms located within the 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of TCF21 were associated with a risk of coronary heart disease in the European and Eastern populations.
Our data provide the first evidence for the association of miR-146a rs2910164 and TCF21 rs12190287 with CAD in an Iranian population, encouraging further research to elucidate the disease-related effects of miR-146a rs2910164.
