Association of a Missense Glu298Asp Mutation of the Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene with End Stage Renal Disease

Association of a missense Glu298Asp mutation of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene with end stage renal disease.

Association of the missense Glu298Asp variant of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene with myocardial infarction.

OBJECTIVES We examined the possible association between the missense Glu298Asp variant of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene and myocardial infarction (MI). BACKGROUND Endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in the regulation of vascular tone. Recently, we reported that a missense Glu298Asp variant in exon 7 of the eNOS gene is a possible genetic factor involved ...

Association of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene G894T polymorphism with type two diabetes and diabetic nephropathy

Background: Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) mediates a large range of processes, and abnormality in the production of NO has been implicated in diabetic complications including diabetic nephropathy (DN). G894T polymorphism in the eNOS gene has been shown to decreased activity the NO levels of plasma. The association between eNOS Glu298Asp gene polymorphism and DN ri...

Association of eNOS Glu298Asp polymorphism with end-stage renal disease.

Nitric oxide (NO) derived from endothelial cells is profoundly related to the maintenance of physiological vascular tone. Impairment of endothelial NO generation brought about by gene polymorphism is considered the major deterioration factor for progressive renal disease, including diabetic nephropathy. The present study aimed to elucidate the Glu298Asp polymorphism of endothelial NO synthase (...

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene Glu298Asp polymorphism is associated with advanced stage endometriosis.

BACKGROUND Altered expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) has been reported to be involved in the development of endometriosis. The genotypes of eNOS gene (NOS3) may be responsible for variation in its enzymatic activity as well as plasma concentration of nitric oxide. The Glu298Asp polymorphism of the NOS3 may modulate angiogenesis and influence individual susceptibility to end...
