Three potential eNOS gene polymorphisms [tandem 27-bp repeats (VNTR) in intron 4, T786C in promoter region and G894T in exon 7] were investigated to affect the susceptibility to and the clinical course of SSc.
We investigated haemorheological variables in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL), retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and systemic sclerosis (SSc), as possible models of microvascular damage, and their relationship with eNOS gene T-786C, G894T and 4a/4b polymorphisms.
Hemorheologic profile in systemic sclerosis: role of NOS3 -786T > C and 894G >T polymorphisms in modulating both the hemorheologic parameters and the susceptibility to the disease.
The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) Glu298Asp (G894-->T) and T-786-->C polymorphisms in patients with systemic sclerosis.
