Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene variants are known to play a role in atherosclerotic development. However, whether interplay between eNOS polymorphisms and metabolic syndrome (MetS) affects ischemic stroke (IS) risk has yet to be discovered. We investigated whether the combined effects of eNOS polymorphisms and MetS influence ischemic stroke risk in Koreans. METHODS: We genotyped the...
