Abstract excerpt
ADMA (asymmetric omega-NG,NG-dimethylarginine), an endogenous inhibitor of NOS (NO synthase), has been shown to be an independent predictor of cerebrovascular disorders. DDAH2 (dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 2) promotes the metabolism of ADMA and plays a key role in the regulation of the acute inflammatory response. We hypothesized that genetic variation in DDAH2 might alter the susceptibility to ICH...
