Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is a common childhood pathology affecting 1 to 5:1000 newborns, with a genetic background suggested by familial occurrence. Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) is a candidate gene owing to its role in the relaxation of smooth musculature and the association of the -84g>a variant of NOS1 with IHPS. METHODS: We investigated NOS1 through sequencing of the...
