Abstract excerpt
Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) is crucial for vascular homeostasis. Polymorphisms T786C and G894T affect eNOS regulation and have been related to various diseases. Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), a clinically diverse chronic hemolytic anemia, implies impaired nitric oxide bioavailability. Our aim was to determine eNOS genotype for T786C and G894T polymorphisms in Greek patients with SCD and to elucidate its...
