Introduction: Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), the main regulator of cardiac cell functioning, is regulated post-transcriptionally by autophagy-related 9B (ATG9B) gene. The proper function of the heart is partly determined by the intact interaction of these molecules. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of ATG9B rs2373929 and rs7830 gene polymorphisms on the predisposition to coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: In this hospital-based case-control study, 150 patients with CAD compared with 150 healthy subjects for the genotype distributions of rs2373929 and rs7830 polymorphisms using T-ARMS PCR and ARMS PCR, respectively. Results: Considering rs2373929 polymorphism, increased risk of CAD observed in the presence of TT genotype (OR: 3.65; 95% CI: 1.77-7.53; P
