Abstract
The invention provides a method for determining if a subject has atherosclerosis, including: determining an endogenous microRNA-195 expression level of a subject suspected of having atherosclerosis; and comparing the endogenous microRNA-195 expression level of the subject with an endogenous microRNA-195 expression level of a normal group, wherein an increase in the endogenous microRNA-195 expression level of the subject as compared to the endogenous microRNA-195 expression level of the normal group indicates that the subject has atherosclerosis.
