Genetic association of rs1800780 (A→G) polymorphism of the eNOS gene with susceptibility to essential hypertension in a Chinese Han population.

Abstract excerpt

To investigate the association of eNOS gene polymorphism with essential hypertension in the Chinese Han population, we examined polymorphisms of the rs2070744 (T→C), rs1800780 (A→G), and rs3918181 (A→G) loci. The results demonstrated that the genotypic frequency at the rs1800780 (A→G) locus was significantly different between patients with essential hypertension and the control cohorts (P < 0.05); while genotypic...
