Krtap10-4, also known as Keratin-associated protein 10-4, is a gene, though its exact function, associated pathways, and overall biological importance are not comprehensively detailed from the given information. However, genetic studies can be valuable in elucidating its role.

A study identified Krtap10-4 (rs201441480) as one of the eight new genotypes and their associated genes related to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) who were treated with clopidogrel and aspirin. This discovery was made through a two-stage large-scale sequencing data, including high-depth whole exome sequencing of 168 patients in the discovery cohort and high-depth targeted sequencing of 1793 patients in the replication cohort [1].

In conclusion, while the exact biological functions of Krtap10-4 are yet to be fully explored, the discovery of its association with MACE in ACS patients provides a starting point for further research. Understanding the role of Krtap10-4 in this context may contribute to better understanding the pathogenesis of cardiovascular outcomes and potentially guide therapeutic interventions for ACS patients.
