Phenotype correlations of TWIST1 and HDAC9 expression levels in AOR.

TWIST1 levels in AOR were inversely associated with body mass index (BMI) and HbA1c levels, and positively associated with Duke CAD index. There were also non-significant trends for other markers of CAD severity (SYNTAX score and the number of diseased coronary vessels). HDAC9 levels in AOR were positively associated with the severity of CAD as assessed by number of diseased coronary vessels and with a trend also for Duke CAD index. (XLSX)
