Key result

eNOS gene polymorphisms were not significantly associated with ischemic heart disease after multiple testing correction, despite initial subgroup associations (e.g., RR 3.67 in type A behavior).

Why the study?

Are eNOS gene polymorphisms associated with ischemic heart disease in the Spanish population?

Population

101 nuclear families having one affected offspring of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in Spain

Overview

No association after correction in Spanish cohort; leaves open eNOS role in IHD subgroups and requires larger replication studies.

Type

Observational (n=101)

Structured PICO

P
Population
101 Spanish nuclear families having one affected offspring of ischemic heart disease.

eNOS gene polymorphisms (ecNOS4a/b VNTR and G894T substitution)

Main Result

p-value: p=nonsignificant

eNOS gene polymorphisms (ecNOS4a/b VNTR and G894T) do not appear to be significantly associated with ischemic heart disease in the Spanish population after correcting for multiple testing.

Cite This Study

Vía et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Ischemic heart disease (n=101). eNOS gene polymorphisms (ecNOS4a/b VNTR and G894T substitution) was evaluated on Ischemic heart disease (p=nonsignificant). eNOS gene polymorphisms were not significantly associated with ischemic heart disease after multiple testing correction, despite initial subgroup associations (e.g., RR 3.67 in type A behavior).
