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...
متن کاملAssociation between eNOS polymorphisms and risk of coronary artery disease in a Korean population: a meta-analysis.
Coronary artery disease (CAD), a multifactorial disease, is a common cause of mortality in humans. Polymorphisms in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene (-786T>C, 4a4b, and 894G>T) have been previously associated with increased CAD risk. However, the sample size of this previous study was too small and limited to comprehensively define an association between eNOS polymorphisms and ...
متن کاملeNOS Genetic Polymorphisms and Cancer Risk
The association between endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) polymorphisms (intron 4a/b, -786T>C and 894G>T) and cancer risk remains elusive. In addition, no studies focused on their associations with the risk of breast cancer in Chinese Han population. Thus, a meta-analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between eNOS polymorphisms and cancer risk, and then a case–control study...
متن کاملAllelic polymorphism of endothelial NO-synthase gene and its functional manifestations.
Investigation of the mechanisms of phenotypic realization of allelic polymorphism of the eNOS gene has shown that the level of eNOS mRNA and activity of this enzyme in platelets depends from genotype. We identified a T(-786)-->C polymorphism in the promoter region, a variable number of tandem repeats (4a/4b) in intron 4 and the G(894)-->T polymorphism in exon 7 of the eNOS gene in isolated huma...
متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase -786T>C, but not 894G>T and 4a4b, polymorphism influences plasma homocysteine concentrations in persons with normal vitamin status.
BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) plays a relevant role in various events during atherogenesis. In vitro data suggest that NO may modulate homocysteine (Hcy) concentrations. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) -786T>C, 894G>T, and 4a4b polymorphisms in influencing Hcy concentrations. METHODS Blood samples were obtained from 1287 unrelated p...
