Why the study?
Are endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) gene polymorphisms associated with the development of acute coronary syndrome in Koreans?
Are endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) gene polymorphisms associated with the development of acute coronary syndrome in Koreans?
The non-BB genotype of the ecNOS 4a/4b gene polymorphism, particularly in combination with the GG genotype of the Glu298Asp polymorphism, is associated with a reduced risk of developing acute coronary syndrome in the Korean population.

ecNOS non-BB genotypes associated with lower ACS risk in Koreans; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before any clinical use.
Park et al. (2004) studied this question.
