Modifier effect of ENOS in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
A significant phenotypical variability is observed in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). ADPKD is associated with altered endothelial-dependent vasodilation and decreased vascular production of nitric oxide (NO). Thus, ENOS, the gene coding for the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), could have a modifier effect in ADPKD. In order to test this hypothesis, we genotyped 173 unrelated ADPKD...
