The functions of RNF39 and ATP2B1 raise the possibility that genes involved in cardio-dysfunction may contribute to nonobstructive CAD in Caucasian women and may provide insights into novel approaches for therapy and prevention.
The ATP2B1rs12817819 A allele is associated with increased risk for RHTN in hypertensive participants with documented CAD or suspected ischemic heart disease.
Genetic factors play an important role in the cervico-cerebral large-artery atherosclerotic stenosis (LAS), and ATP2B1 gene has been associated with the process of atherosclerosis disorders, such as coronary artery disease and arterial stiffness.
