The aim of this study is to investigate mRNA expression profiling by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and validate differentially expressed genes (DEGs) as novel biomarkers for CAD. Transcriptome-wide mRNA expression analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells was performed in five CAD patients and five controls. Functional enrichment analyses, protein-protein interaction network construction, and hub gene selection were further conducted.

We aimed to identify the expression profile and role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in coronary artery disease (CAD). We performed RNA sequence analysis of circRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of five patients with CAD and five controls.
