Inducible nitric oxide synthase genetic polymorphism and risk of asbestosis.

Journal of biomedicine & biotechnology - 1 Jan 2011

Abstract excerpt

Asbestos, a known occupational pollutant, may upregulate the activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and thus the production of nitric oxide (NO). This study investigated whether iNOS (CCTTT)(n) polymorphism is associated with an increased asbestosis risk in exposed workers. The study cohort consisted of 262 cases with asbestosis and 265 controls with no asbestos-related disease. For each subject the...
