Abstract excerpt
The purpose of the present study was to investigate an association of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene polymorphism with asthma. eNOS intron4 variable number of tandem repeats (27 bp repeats) genotypes were determined in asthma patients and control subjects using microplate PCR. The Caucasian Asthma patients displayed three alleles while Caucasian controls displayed only two alleles. However,...
