Nitric oxide production is reduced in renal disease, partially due to decreased endothelial nitric oxide production. Evidence indicates that nitric oxide deficiency contributes to cardiovascular events and progression of kidney damage. A polymorphism in intron 4 of the endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) gene is a candidate gene in cardiovascular and renal diseases. We investigated a potential...
