Endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism is associated with Behçet's disease in Tunisian population.

Abstract excerpt

Nitric oxide (NO) is a molecule that plays a key role in many physiologic and pathologic processes. It is produced in vivo from the aminoacid l-arginine by a family of nitric oxide synthases (NOS). Endothelial NOS (eNOS) is a constitutively expressed isoform of NOS. The eNOS gene entails several polymorphisms, of which certain were investigated in Behçet's disease (BD). We sought to establish the association of...
