Abstract excerpt
In this study we examined a possible association between a 27 base pair (bp)-repeat polymorphism in intron 4 of the ecNOS gene and myocardial infarction (MI) in a subgroup of the Turkish population. We compared MI and control groups for the frequencies of the ecNOS alleles and their genotypes. The frequency of the ecNOS 4a/a and 4a/b genotypes was found to be significantly higher in the MI group than in the...
