Association of Variable Number of Tandem Repeats in Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene with Coronary Artery Disease
Endo-derived nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized from L-arginine by endothelium nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Since reduced NO synthesis has been implicated in the development of coronary atherosclerosis; we hypothesized that polymorphisms of NOS gene might be associated with increased susceptibility t...
