A polymorphism in the gene for the endothelial nitric oxide synthase and diabetic nephropathy
Department of Internal Medicine, Section of Nephrology, University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany
Sir,
Endothelial nitric oxide plays a key role in the regulation of blood flow and blood pressure. The gene for the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) is therefore a reasonable candidate gene for diabetic nephropathy (DN) and other renal
