We evaluated whether the G -T 894 polymorphism in exon 7 of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene is associated with blood pressure or modifies the relation between lead dose and blood pressure in 803 lead workers in Korea. A total of 84.9% of individuals were homozygous GG, 14.4% heterozygous GT, and 0.8% homozygous TT. The T 894 allele was not significantly associated with systoli...
