Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (G894T) Gene Polymorphism in a Random Sample of the Egyptian Population: Comparison with Myocardial Infarction Patients

Abstract

The present study demonstrated the predominance of the homozygous genotype GG over the heterozygous GT and homozygous TT in random samples of Egyptian population. It also showed the lack of association between eNOS genotypes and mean serum levels of NO, as well as the incidence of AMI.
