Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors contribute to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). We studied 100 patients with CAD and 50 healthy individuals to assess the association of endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS) polymorphism (Glu298Asp) and angiotensinogen polymorphisms (M235T) and CAD in an Egyptian population. Serum nitric oxide (NO) and angiotensin I levels were also measured. The frequency of Glu298Asp and M235T...
