Abstract excerpt
The influence of the coordinated effect of various single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene on the risk of osteoporosis in hypertension has remained undetermined. Four pertinent SNPs of the eNOS gene, rs2070774, rs1799983, rs1800780 and rs3918181, were examined for the risk of osteoporosis in 313 hypertensive postmenopausal women in Northwest India. All the...
