[ 1 ] - Human Evaluation of the Glu298Asp polymorphism in NOS3 gene and its relationship with onset age of ESRD in Iranian patients suffering from ADPKD

One of the most striking features in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the difference at onset age of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Modifier genes may play a role in this phenotypic variability. The mutated nitric oxide synthase 3 gene (NOS3), have a modifier effect on the severity of ADPKD by impairment of NOS3 activity and decreasing of renal vascular nitric oxide prod...
