Abstract excerpt
eNOS (endothelial NO synthase) plays a critical role in the development of ventricular remodelling and cardiac hypertrophy. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether three common variants in NOS3 (the eNOS gene) are associated with the risk of LVH [LV (left ventricular) hypertrophy] in patients with essential hypertension. Three NOS3 genetic variants, -T786C (rs2070744), eNOS4a/b and +G894T...
