Our data suggests that the T allele of the miRNA-196a2 C/T (rs11614913) polymorphism is associated with the risk of developing CAD, but no association with restenosis was observed.
Our study suggests that miR-196a2 rs11614913 T > C may contribute to CAD susceptibility but further well-designed studies with larger sample size and comprehensive data are needed to confirm our findings and provide a profound conclusion.
Cox regression analysis showed that age, smoking status, numbers of pathological changes in coronary arteries, rs11614913 T → C, and diabetes mellitus were associated with serious prognosis of CAD.
