Resumen
We investigated two single nucleotide polymorphisms of the NOS3 gene in type 2 diabetic patients (n= 93) and healthy non-diabetic controls (n= 76) and their relationship with smoking habits, body mass index, hypertension and dyslipidemia. Results showed that eNOS polymorphism rs891512 (G24943A) is associated with hypertension in Chilean individuals (p< 0.05). © 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
