Abstract:
Objective To investigate the association of the Glu298-Asp(894G→T)mutation at exon 7 of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene and acute myocardial infarction.Methods By using the designed primers based on flanking sequences of the Glu298-Asp mutation at exon7 of eNOS, 894G→T fragments were amplified by nested PCR from genomic DNA of healthy control and AMI subjects, digested by restriction enzyme after amplification and detected by agarose gel electrophoresis for 894G→T genotyping. To count the genotype and allele frequencies, the significance of difference in the genotype and allele between two groups were assessed by statistical analysis.Results Three genotypes containing GG, GT, TT were identified on the 894 site of the eNOS gene exon 7 in both AMI and controls. In AMI group, there were 25 patients having 9 homozygotes, the other 16 having heterozygotes. In controls, there were 13 cases with G894T mutation,all having heterozygotes. The mutation frequency of TT homozygote allele has extraordinary significant difference between two groups (P
