چکیده

Nitric oxide mediates multiple physiological functions, including neurotransmission, immune regulation, angiogenesis, antiplatelet activity, and surfactant maturation or secretion. Mice deficient in the nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) gene displayed defective lung vascular development and fatal respiratory distress. Polymorphisms in NOS3 have been reported to be associated with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The role of NOS3 polymorphisms as a risk factor for pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) was evaluated by analyzing the possible functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the regulatory and coding regions of NOS3. Samples from 216 PARDS patients and 225 healthy control subjects were genotyped at 4 SNP loci (rs11771443 and rs3918188 in the promoter region, rs1799983 in exon 7, and rs7830 at the intron24-exon23 boundary). Statistically significant differences were observed in the allelic or genotypic frequencies of the rs1799983 and rs11771443 polymorphisms in NOS3. The T and G alleles of rs1799983 and rs11771443 were associated with a significantly higher risk of PARDS compared to the C allele (P = 0.030) and the T allele (P = 0.004), respectively. Strong linkage disequilibrium was observed in one block (D' > 0.9). Subjects with PARDS displayed significantly fewer T-C haplotypes (P = 0.013) in block 1 (rs1799983-rs11771443). These findings indicate that NOS3 polymorphisms play a definitive role in PARDS, and therefore may be useful for future genetic or neurobiological studies on RDS.

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...

The Study of Nitric Oxide Synthase 3 (NOS3) T-786C and 4a4b Gene Polymorphism in Iranian Men with Varicocele

Background and Objectives: Varicocele is one of the most common causes of male infertility. Varicocele is an abnormal dilatation and tortuosity of veins of the pampiniform plexus, which drain the testis. Studies have shown that elevated level of oxidative stress markers, such as nitric oxide (NO) in the dilated veins of patients with varicocele impair testicular function. The aim of this study,...
