Abstract excerpt
An endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) polymorphism in exon 7 (894 G/T) resulting in glutamate or aspartate, respectively, at position 298 on the protein is correlated with severity of cardiopulmonary diseases. Because glutamate and aspartate are considered to be conservative replacements, the polymorphism was thought to be a marker for a functional locus elsewhere in the gene. We now show in transfected...
