“…Findings of Salimi et al are concurrent with the present findings, wherein the frequency of the C allele in individuals with T786C polymorphism is higher in coronary artery disease patients than in controls (22). On the contrary, Jaramillo et al suggested that eNOS T786C was not associated with coronary artery disease in Chilean individuals (23). Reduced NO production is associated with vascular dysfunction and smooth muscle cell proliferation in the arterial endothelium, thereby resulting in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (24).…”

“…A link between the CC genotype of this polymorphism and CAD has been found in independent studies including those in Chinese and Korean populations ( Jia et al, 2007;Kim et al, 2007). Nevertheless, À786 T=C polymorphism of the eNOS gene was not associated with CAD in the study of Chilean patients and healthy controls ( Jaramillo et al, 2008). In Turkish individuals, this variation might be a risk factor for CAD according to Tangurek et al (2006).…”

“…Similarly, Jaramillo et al and Alp et al observed that T-786C polymorphism of the eNOS gene was not associated with CAD in a studied sample of Chilean and Turkish individuals, respectively (19,20). To our knowledge, no parallel investigations were performed on Egyptian population regarding the association of T-786C polymorphism of eNOS with the incidence of CAD.…”
