Abstract excerpt
The gene encoding endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is involved in abnormalities in nitric oxide (NO) synthesis that mediates functional damage of vascular cells, especially of endothelial cells (ECs), a common characteristic in cardiovascular diseases. In Fabry's disease, the characteristic mutation in the alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-gal A) gene induces large deposits of glycosphingolipids, particularly...
