Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important mediator of physiologic processes in the airways. Evidence exists that genetic factors affect NO formation and contribute to the pathophysiology of asthma. The aims of this study were to determine the endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) haplotypes in Czech asthmatics and control subjects and examine their relation to asthma. We analyzed a total of six polymorphisms. Two SNPs in the...
