چکیده
background: reduced bioavailability of nitric oxide (no) and the t?786c polymorphism of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (enos) gene have been reported as risk factors for the development of coronary artery disease (cad) with conflicting results. we investigated the association of plasma no levels, t?786c genetic polymorphism, and gene expression levels of enos with cad risk in an iranian subpopulation. materials and methods: studied population included 100 patients with angiographically verified cad and 100 ethnically matched controls. analysis of t?786c genetic polymorphism and gene expression levels of enos was conducted by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) restriction fragment length polymorphism and real?time reverse transcription?pcr methods, respectively. plasma levels of no were measured using griess method. results: the cc genotype distribution (15% vs. 6%, p = 0.011) and minor c allele frequency (36.5% vs. 21.5%, p = 0.001) of enos t?786c polymorphism differed significantly between cad patients and control. furthermore, enos t?786c polymorphism was more common among smoker than nonsmoker cad patients (27.7% vs. 7.8%, p = 0.044). the association of the enos t?786c polymorphism with the severity of cad (number of diseased vessel) was significant ( p < 0.05). the gene expression levels of enos were significantly lower in the heterozygote (0.49 ± 0.1, p = 0.023) and mutant homozygote (0.36 ± 0.09, p = 0.011) genotypes than that of wild?type genotype ( p < 0.05). in addition, no levels were significantly lower in cad patients compared with control subjects (42.62 ± 12.26 vs. 55.48 ± 16.57, p = 0.002) and showed intergenotypic variation in the cad patients. conclusion: our study indicated that reduced no levels and enos t?786c genetic polymorphism are significant risk factors for the development and severity of cad in the iranian population.

Association between T-786C polymorphism of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene and level of the vessel dilation factor in patients with coronary artery disease
Various polymorphisms on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOs) gene cause reduced production of NO, the endothelial relaxing factor, and may accelerate the process of atherosclerosis. The study designed to investigate the frequency of T-786C polymorphism of the eNOs gene in patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD) in north-west of Iran. One hundred twenty subjects including 60 p...

PURPOSE The endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) G894T polymorphism has been reported to cause endothelial dysfunction and may have a role in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of eNOS G894T genetic polymorphism and plasma levels of nitric oxide (NO) with CAD risk in an Iranian population.
