Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to determine whether Dimethylarginine Dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) 1 and 2 gene polymorphisms - the main enzyme involved in ADMA degradation - are associated with high Asymmetric Dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). METHODS: Serum ADMA levels were measured in 201 individuals with RA [155 females median age 67 (59-73)]. Four tag SNPs in DDAH1 gene and 2...
