Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Chr9p21 locus happened to be the most robust genetic marker of CAD. The entire core of chr9p21 is covered by 'ANRIL' and lies in a region that is free from any coding proteins and therefore it is called the desert gene. Beside this region, are some protein coding genes, CDKN2A, CDKN2B. The association mechanisms for chr9p21 with atherosclerotic disease are vague but, it was suggested that ANRIL, influences the regulation of the epigenetic modification and thus modulate cardiovascular risk, as its expression is highly detected in vascular tissues related to atherosclerosis
