We studied whether the 27 base pair (bp) tandem repeat polymorphism in intron 4 of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene was associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) in a hospital-based Taiwanese population. We included 219 consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography at our institution. Two alleles, containing 4 (eNOS4a) and 5 repeats (eNOS4b), were identified after polymerase chain...
