Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene have been inconsistently associated with hypertension. This inconsistency may derive from population stratification secondary to ethnic diversity, and consideration limited to only one rather than combinations of polymorphisms. We studied three genetic variations in the eNOS gene: a single nucleotide polymorphism in the promoter region (T-786C),...
