Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Considering the lack of knowledge regarding the influence of the variable number of repeats of 27 pb in intron 4 (4b/4a VNTR - rs61722009) of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) on the drug response, we assessed the influence of this polymorphism for the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). METHODS: A case-control study, including 200 cases and 706 controls, was conducted...
