Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sequence variants at the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) locus have been associated with endothelial function measures, but replication has been limited. METHODS AND RESULTS: In reference pedigrees, we characterized linkage disequilibrium structure at the NOS3 locus using 33 common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Eighteen SNPs that capture underlying common variation were genotyped in...
