Zinc Finger MIZ-Type Containing 1

ZMIZ1gene

ZMIZ1 is a CAD-associated super-enhancer-regulated gene whose contribution to atherothrombotic MI likely operates through cell-type-specific gene regulation.

RationaleSuper-enhancer-regulated CAD gene; transcriptional regulation; mechanism in MI not cascade-specific.
Druggability
Not assessed (no mapped human gene target).

Assay & specimen

Class-level default (no specific cleared assay)— generic method inferred from analyte class; confirm against a specific product insert before use.
Specimen
Whole blood — gene is not a circulating analyte; measure protein product or genotype
Collection tube
K2-EDTA whole blood (lavender-top)
Method / principle
SNP genotyping / sequencing; or immunoassay of encoded protein
Reagent / substrate
Allele-specific primers/probes (TaqMan) or NGS panel; or antibody for protein
Platform
qPCR / NGS / array
Turnaround · availability
Send-out · Genotyping widely available; protein assay variable
