Abstract
In patients on dialysis the risk alleles of G894T and T-786C polymorphisms of the eNOS gene are associated with carotid atherosclerosis. The additive effect of the two polymorphisms may contribute to the severity of atherosclerosis independently of other risk factors and of endogenous substances that influence the NO synthesis in this population.
