Abstract excerpt
In endothelial cells nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized by endothelial-nitric oxide synthase (e-NOS), constitutively expressed and encoded by a 26-exon gene, located on chromosome 7q35-36. The prevalence of the T rare variant of the G894T polymorphism in exon 7 of the e-NOS gene (Glu-->Asp amino acid substitution) has been reported to be significantly higher in patients with coronary spasm and coronary artery...
