摘要
We investigated the association between variations in the endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) gene and the presence of myocardial infarction. The results indicate that the mutant allele (ecNOS'4a) is an independent risk factor for myocardial infarction in the Japanese population, especially in those lacking other conventional risk factors.
