Functional Haplotype of LIPC Induces Triglyceride-Mediated Suppression of HDL-C Levels According to Genome-Wide Association Studies.

abstract：:The CCAAT box is recognized by the trimeric transcription factor NF-Y, whose NF-YA subunit is present in two major splicing isoforms, NF-YAl ("long") and NF-YAs ("short"). Little is known about the expression levels of NF-Y subunits in tumors, and nothing in lung cancer. By interrogating RNA-seq TCGA and GEO datasets,...
