CLEC5A, ISG20, and Atherosclerosis Causality
2026-09-09
This 2025 study integrates GEO transcriptomics, eQTL evidence, Mendelian randomization, and experimental validation to examine whether CLEC5A and ISG20 are causally associated with atherosclerosis. Its strongest translational signal is the reproducible elevation of ISG20 in ox-LDL-stimulated macrophages, ApoE-deficient mice, and plaque regions enriched in endothelial cells and macrophages.
