While the study establishes C1QA and C1QC as diagnostic biomarkers and confirms their association with atherosclerosis risk, the mechanistic pathways linking complement activation to plaque pathogenesis remain unexplained. Understanding these mechanisms is critical since atherosclerosis is a major cause of vascular dementia and stroke-related neurodegeneration.
