Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This pilot study aimed to investigate the association between the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs3918226 in the promoter of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene and the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD). METHODS: DNA samples from 1,263 unrelated subjects of Slavic origin, including 620 patients with PAD and 643 controls, were genotyped for the SNP rs3918226 using the MassArray-4 system....
