“…Subjects homozygous for 4a allele exhibit 20% lower levels of NO than the subjects bearing 4b allele. 21 Therefore, patients with achalasia having eNOS4a4a genotype would produce less amount of NO, leading to simultaneous contraction in the esophageal body and failure of swallow-induced LES relaxation. 3 Thus, our finding showing association between achalasia and presence of eNOS4a4a genotype is important as this genotype is associated with low levels of NO, which is known to have role in development of achalasia.…”

“…13,20 In the 27-bp variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism, 2 alleles have been identified; the larger of which, eNOS-4b (higher-producer of NO), has 5 tandem 27-bp repeats (GAAGTCTAGACCTGCTGC [A/G] GGGGTGAG) and the smaller, eNOS-4a (lower-producer of NO), has 4 tandem 27-bp repeats. 21 27-bp VNTR polymorphism of eNOS is associated with a low plasma concentration of nitric oxide. 22 The functional role of iNOS (G/A-37498) polymorphism is not well known but it may alter NO activity.…”

“…Hou et al conducted a study on Chinese people, and confi rmed that intron 4 gene polymorphism of eNOS may be an independent risk factor for ischemic cerebrovascular disease in Chinese people, which is particularly signifi cant in patients suffering from ischemic cerebrovascular disease however with no common risk factors (10). Munshi et al found that VNTR polymorphism of eNOS gene is signifi cantly correlated with the occurrence of ischemic stroke in South Indian people (11). The relationship between eNOS gene polymorphism and coronary heart disease and ischemic cerebrovascular disease has been confi rmed by many scholars internationally, but there are also differences.…”
