Abstract excerpt
The products of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) play a critical role in determining vessel wall structure and function. Polymorphisms in both genes have been independently demonstrated to influence propensity to cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of the homozygous G849T (Glu298-->Asp) polymorphism in NOS III on peripheral conduit...
