Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO) unavailability plays an important role in the progression of macrovascular diseases in Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). C59038T polymorphism in GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH1) gene is a functional mutation involved in NO metabolism and cardiovascular risk in a multiethnic population. To clarify the relationship between C59038T polymorphism and macrovascular disease in T2DM, an association study was performed...
