Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We investigated the association of the T-786C single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS3), which is characterised by reduced expression of the enzyme in response to shear stress or interleukin-10 stimulation and significantly associated with coronary heart disease or rheumatoid arthritis, with the occurrence of isolated polymyalgia rheumatica. METHODS: A...
