Abstract excerpt
The endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene plays an important role in regulating vascular tone and blood pressure. Recently, the eNOS G894T and T-786C single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were intensively studied with regard to their associations with hypertension. However, the results of these studies were inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted the so far largest meta-analysis to better assess the...
