Abstract excerpt
The Glu(298)-->Asp (E298D; 894G-->T) polymorphism of eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) has been related with cardiovascular disease. In the present study, we investigated the association of Glu(298)-->Asp with atherosclerotic plaques in different carotid vessel segments and with carotid IMT (intima-media thickness). The Glu(298)-->Asp eNOS polymorphism was determined by 5'-exonuclease assay among 2448...
