Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To examine the association between the polymorphisms of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene and the occurrence of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). METHODS: We studied 15 patients with NAION (mean age, 62 years; 60% male). We investigated two polymorphisms of the eNOS gene, Glu298Asp polymorphism of exon 7 and T(-786)C polymorphism of the promoter region. The...
