Association between endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene variants and nitric oxide production in preeclampsia: a case–control study in Ghana

Abstract excerpt

Evidence suggests that a major cause of PE is endothelial dysfunction emanating from the reduced bioavailability of Nitric oxide (NO). Variants of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene may lead to decreased NO levels. We explored the association between eNOS gene variants and nitric oxide levels among preeclamptic women in the Ghanaian population. This case-control study included 75 preeclamptic women and...
